Blog Post
I will say that the past three-month period has been, by far, the most calm period of the past fifteen years. A little weird to settle in-to, but I'm likin' it. Don't need no drama. (Although a little spice would suffice, say, maybe a quarter teaspoon or so.)
But here we are, another spring, another year of ripping the bindweed from the garden. My son and I filled the giant yard waste bin this morning, trimmings from the apple tree mostly, the tree that produces about a half dozen maggoty fruits. I think I like it better for its accumulation of lichen than anything else, and the birds that roost in its branches. Oh, and the short-lived blossoms. And the shade it provides for my kitty graveyard.
There's a hazelnut tree, a volunteer from, I'm guessing, a nut buried by a squirrel. The squirrels also harvest all the nuts. Alas, a the meager yield from my two-tree orchard.
I wish there were still surprises to be found in my garden, but I think those days are past. Once I found two Spanish coins while digging, and they were worth about two cents. Snails are recent migrants, and because their shells are so beguiling, I can forgive their slugginess.
But every plant, every weed has been seen before. Is this what happens when we age? I like to keep parts of my garden a little feral, so as to invite the unexpected. Maybe I need to tunnel into the ivy-rose bramble beneath the fir tree, where the cats hide. Maybe that's where I'll find something worth unearthing, some rusty hinge or remnant of fence that quietly tells its story.

After two months of sinus infection winter imprisonment, followed by nearly two more months of winter imprisonment due to the broken elbow -- because it was so cold, snowy and icy, there was material danger of falling again and further injury -- I was more than happy to have a departure from routine and new scenes to look at -- and finally socializing again. I think I was forgetting how to talk to anyone other than el V. All my communications with others was via typing!ReplyDelete
Refreshed I am ready to get Out and Do Things. But -- winter returned when we did. Currently down in the 20's, with snow predicted for tomorrow and Wednesday. Will this winter EVER end?
Love, C.

XL Pants to Skirt
I bought this pair of pants a while ago, when I saw that they were only $1 I couldn't pass it up. It was a size 3x and I wear a 6 or 8, but I knew the material would cost me more then $1, let alone the zipper, buttons and studs (if I even knew how to put such stuff on and make it look professional). Here is the skirt after it was completed. I added some textured fabric (the closest in color I could find), so that the skirt would be fuller and have more visual interest. I finally finished it last night (it took me a long time).

A photo diary of our recent holiday to Malta (3 October to 10 October 2014).
Usually we only visit Malta in Winter (late February/early March) but this time we travelled with our close friends, Helen & Dave who have never been to Malta before. We were hoping they would like it as we're aware it's one of those places that you either love, hate or can be completely indifferent to. However, we think they both liked it and now they've found out there are a number of cruises which depart from Valletta harbours, I think it may not be too long before they make their way back there.
Day 1 – our arrival in Malta was the smoothest we've ever had!
After a two and a half hour flight with Emirates from Larnaca airport we landed at Malta and the first thing was to make a bee line for the public loos, of which there were only 2 in the Ladies room 😦
Making our way to luggage belt No 4 we were very pleased to see our bags coming round to us as one of the first in the queue. On reaching the arrivals hall, we were greeted immediately by James from Star Tourist Services with our mini-bus transfer. He recognised us rather than us having to look for our name – amazing! It just goes to show how social media plays a huge part in today's world as the only time we've "met" in the past are on Facebook.
So after a 40 minute transfer to our hotel (Il-Palazzin) in Qawra one of the first things we did was to head off for a quick tour of the resort to help our friends get their bearings as well as putting our hotel location into some perspective from the bus station to "The Square" at Bugibba and the seafront. It's a confusing area and takes a few days to suss out the best routes on foot to various places.
We were pleasantly surprised to see the new National Aquarium up and running with a very nice cafe/lido area at the Cafe del Mar. There appeared to be some kind of a private function taking place so I just grabbed a couple of photos from the promenade.
Day 2 – first views from our balcony and on foot around St Julian's/Spinola Bay to Sliema ferries.
View from Room 316 before heading for breakfast
Below are some of the sights we came across along the way from hopping off the bus at Spinola Bay and en route to Sliema.
Decorative window ledge – near Sliema
Apparently, this is the oldest street in Sliema but don't take my word for it, that's what we were informed.
Water taxi from Sliema to Valletta – there's definitely rain in that sky 😦
More to follow soon but if you're keen to see more photos – please feel free to visit my Flickr album

The Centre mopped up Rs 2.46 lakh crore from indirect taxes in the last fiscal, as much as Rs 2,000 crore more than the revised target, despite stimulus packages.
But it collected Rs 3.80 lakh crore from direct taxes against the revised estimate of Rs 3.87 lakh crore, Union Revenue Secretary Sunil Mitra said at a function hosted by the Bengal National Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Monday.
However, Mitra clarified that these were only provisional figures, and the final ones would be released by the Controller General of Accounts
Sources said that direct tax collections would go up further when final figures come in.
Estimates of indirect tax collections were revised down to Rs 2.44 lakh crore last fiscal, from the Rs 2.69 lakh crore estimated at the time of the Budget.
While the customs duty mop-up target was scaled down by Rs 3,523 crore to Rs 84,477 crore, excise duty collection was reduced by Rs 4,477 crore to Rs 1.02 lakh crore.
Similarly, service tax collection estimates were cut by Rs 7,000 crore to Rs 58,000 crore.
Sources said this had happened because the cut in excise duty by 6 per cent and service tax by 2 per cent had hit the exchequer drastically. Besides, the slowdown in demand had cut the need for greater imports, affecting customs duty collections.
The government had set the target for direct tax collection at Rs 3.70 lakh crore in the 2009-10 budget, but later revised it to Rs 3.87 lakh crore.
For the current fiscal, the government has estimated that Rs 3.15 lakh crore would be collected through indirect taxes.
Out of this, Rs 1.32 lakh crore is likely to come from excise duties, Rs 1.15 lakh crore from customs and Rs 68,000 crore from service tax.
The government, during 2010-11, proposes to mop up about Rs 4.30 lakh crore through direct taxes. Of this, Rs 1.28 lakh crore is expected from income tax, despite widening of tax slabs, Rs 3.01 lakh crore from corporate tax, and Rs 603 crore from wealth tax.

Baby Momma Drama For LHHATL's Rich Dollaz?
What seems to be an endless list of rappers and celebrities racking up allegations of not taking care of their off-spring, Love and Hip Hop's infamous music manager Rich Dollaz may be added to that list as he has been escorted out of a hotel lobby by police officers right in the middle of an on-camera interview!
The details have yet to surface but the screaming woman who appeared outside as he's escorted out of the hotel may lend some light on the situation. The woman is suspected to be his baby mama who was heard screaming about Dollaz coming to Memphis and not taking care of his child.
Let's hope that this is not the case, but more deets to follow as more drama unfolds for the LHHATL cast! In the interim, check out the video below!

CAL Group Highlight:...
Jay Mednikow is the founder of CAL group DeltaCappella in Memphis, TN. DeltaCappella hosted the CAL Symposium in 2009, an event which was the predecessor for VoCALnation. How was your group formed? I had a dream to sing collegiate-style a cappella again, long after graduating college. As recently as 2006, there were very few post-collegiate groups that sang in the collegiate style anywhere, and none in Memphis. Post-collegiate a cappella groups at the time were generally composed of four to six singers, one mic per singer, and invariably in those circumstances, only the best singers would pursue a cappella after college. I'm not the best voice in DeltaCappella, and I didn't ...More

It will also include some of the top groups included in the festival and some talented individual singers. The session is still about finding ways to collaborate and produce something innovative while supporting the mission of CASA to enhance the a cappella community and the experience of attendees at our festivals. Our changes are all to get more people involved in this incredible experience. What ...More
VoCALnation is CAL-ling YOU!
It's only been one week since the BOSS [Boston Sings] festival and I'm already having withdrawals. Three days of pure a cappella goodness and I'm craving more. I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more a cappella... in the form of a cowbell sound? You get the point – these festivals are addicting and I can't wait for the next one on the CASA calendar which happens to be VoCALnation in Philadelphia this July. As the founding member of Fermata Town, one of the newest groups to join the Contemporary A Cappella League (CAL), it's easy for me to say that there is so much value in these festivals ...More
From Boston to Philly –...
Boston Sings 2013 was my second time at a CASA festival. Before attending, I was excited about getting to meet even more people in person that I had already collected as Facebook friends. I had looked over the workshop list and saw a few I was interested in, but wasn't too jazzed about that. I looked over the list of competing collegiate groups and was excited about seeing Voices In Your Head in particular. I was impressed by the tracks I had heard by POSTYR Project and was intrigued to see how they would do it live. Just before the festival began, CASA Director of Education Ben Stevens stated on ...More
Meet Your Hosts: KeyStone
Contemporary A Cappella - all the camaraderie of a live music group combined with the artistry of all-vocal performance and the energy of contemporary music. It's where the addiction to close harmony singing meets the modern music so many of us grew up with. That addiction is what brought KeyStone A Cappella together and how we became your hosts for VoCALnation. As undergraduates, some of us sang together in the a cappella groups at Penn State University. Others sang in groups at Temple University and Oberlin. It was actually post-college that the six of us got together. We all found our way to The A Cappella Project - Philadelphia, a non-profit ...More

Schwarzenegger shoots it up in these new pics from David Ayer's Sabotage
Arnold is back at it again, this time with the upcoming SABOTAGE from director David Ayer (END OF WATCH). USA Today dropped some new pics from the action thriller, which feature Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sam Worthington, Joe Manganiello, Mireille Enos armed to the teeth and looking relatively badass. The film centers around an elite DEA task force that find themselves targeted after raiding a drug cartel safe house, which seems like fine territory for a David Ayer flick. Also starring in the film are Josh Holloway, Olivia Williams, Harold Perrineau, and Max Martini (PACIFIC RIM).
Here's the pics:
I'm very much looking forward to this. I'm an unabashed fan of Ayer, who has delivered some really intense action thrillers with deeply flawed protagonists. After writing TRAINING DAY, he dabbled in the mainstream a bit (S.W.A.T., DARK BLUE) and then delivered the modest and underrated HARSH TIMES, STREET KINGS, and his latest, END OF WATCH, all of which have proven he's a filmmaker to watch. Apparently, Hollywood has taken notice, as he's now saddled up with power players like Schwarzenegger and is currently shooting the WWII tank thriller, FURY, with Brad Pitt. Arnold seems pleased with Ayer's promise as well, saying, "This is a very intense movie. I don't know if everyone has the stomach to handle this. It's brutal. We're taking the action thriller to new heights."
SABOTAGE opens on April 11, 2014.

Portland Timbers forward Fanendo Adi has revealed that he is looking forward to making his debut for the Super Eagles when they take on Egypt in Friday's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, Completesportsniger
Adi revealed that he owes his Nigeria invitation to his Portland Timbers coach and teammates.
"I'm looking forward to playing for Nigeria," Adi who won the man-of the match award after Portland's 2-2 draw against Real Salt Lake and was named in the MLS team of the week, told reporters shortly after joining the Eagles in Abuja.
"It's my first time. I've never been with the national team, so it's different for me.
"I owe everything to Portland, so I have to say a big 'thank you' to the coach, to the fans and my mates. Without them I wouldn't have this opportunity. It's going to be great for my development and it's going to help me."
The Egyptians lead Group G by two points and the results of these two games will have a huge bearing on who qualifies for the finals automatically.

It's been a long time since I've visited or posted to my blog. Today I was drawn back to it after visiting another friends blog to read one of her entries and it filled me with a desire to revise my blog and get it up and active again. So I thought a good way to start back to blogging would be with some simple writing prompts, or ideas that would get my mind working and my fingers typing.
So for my latest entry I decided to give Friday Fill-ins a try.
Here are my thoughts on this lovely Friday afternoon.
1. Laughter is the best medicine.
2. Right now I are the three words that started off the last email I sent.
3. What I'm most looking forward to today is getting rid of the headache I have.
4. Watching my two kittens' crazy antics (when they are not messing things up) puts a smile on my face.
5. Where in the world am I going to find the time and energy to get all of our laundry done before my surgery next week?
6. Airing out the house with the windows open most of the day, even if it was warm outside is just what I needed.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to relaxing with my hubby, tomorrow my plans include more laundry and housework, and Sunday I want to relax and maybe spend some time cleaning up my craft room so I can enjoy it while I'm recuperating after surgery.

Today at Citywalk I worked by myself all day and was bored as hell, so I looked through some magazines and tried my hand in some randome faces! I couldn't make up my mind whether to go with exaggeration or just likeness to focus on, so they kinda cancelled each other out! Dammit!
A piece I did very quickly before getting off of work to pass the time (it took 15 minutes)! The lighting isn't quite what I had in mind, but I'll be doing more until I get it right! if anyone has any lighting suggestions, please feel free to let a dude know!

A Month in the Desert
>> Thursday, December 28, 2006
Armed with courage, hope and my new (but rickety) Walkman Phone, I boarded Qatar Airways bound for Doha.
When I touched ground, everybody here said I came at the perfect time--Asian Games, cool weather, and fasting season done with.
That was November 27, exactly a month ago. I mentioned the walkman phone purposefully because I love music and I find it amusing sometimes that half the songs on my playlist have been accurate enough to speak a part of what's been happening in my life here so far. So here's the buzz on my first thirty days in the desert and the songs that helped rubbed my fate on my face.
"You say the word you know I will find you
Or if you need some time I don't mind
I don't hold on to thetail of your kite."
-"Sleeps With Butterflies" by Tori Amos
I've posted this song before (see "Fly Then Boy" post) and yes I know it's really about this girl who got laid and promised not to do a Fatal Attraction on a guy but I see it in a different perspective. I mean, on the guy's part--that I am leaving loved ones, family and friends, but I want them to be there when I get back. I played this song over and over again before I left Davao and played it one more time before the plane left Hong Kong for Doha ("Airplanes take you away again..."), talk about great musical scoring! (Oh and probably because this was the track I used for Apple's (Martin's sistah) wedding vid [sorry Apple, had to put that song in, hope you like it].
"Hey love,
I am a constant satellite
of your blazing sun.
My love,
I obey your law of gravity;
this is the fateyou've carved on me,
Your law of gravity..
this is the fateyou've carved on me.. on me."
-"Gravity" by Vienna Teng
My first few days here was terrible. Before I left my "comfortable" life in Davao I demanded from my mom that she make sure that I'll earn at least twice of what I earn in Davao, have my own room with toilet and have a car or a car plan. So imagine my big Big BIG disappointment when I found out that none of those ever existed, or would seem to exist as of now. The night I arrived here they left me in a newly renovated building that has around 16 rooms up and down. All rooms were empty and the Arabian interiors have that Cosmopolitan look (and I'm not talking about the modern city, I'm refering to the funeral parlor). And (pun alert) dig this ...my room had to be at the very end of the second floor so it's like a stupid horror movie setup where the audience asks: "why does the damn room had to be at the very end of the hall?". Creepy. Nobody stayed with me that night, my FIRST night and I just thank God that I was so tired cause I would've freaked out if I had the strength left to imagine even Casper the friendly ghost floating about outside my room.
My room is not that big. Technically it's not a room, more like a stockroom because it has no windows. A slave area save for the old rusty AC that's positioned exactly below a rain drainpipe so it gets really noisy when this desert gets a "blessing" ie rain. But it's not just MY room because I'm bunking with a 50-year old Chinese guy. There are two double decks so we assume that two more poorly accomodated people may soon join our happy little place in the desert. I remember my mom saying to me: "yes, of course you will have your own room, I made sure of that." Right. Strike One.
"It wastes time And I'd rather be high
Think I'll walk me outside And buy a rainbow smile
But be free
They're all free"
- "Maybe Tomorrow" by Stereophonics
It's become a habit of mine to walk here. Everyday I walk around the neighborhood just to entertain myself. Sometimes the walks are short, at times...let's just say at times people think I'm stupid for not taking a cab.
My first few days, I had to walk for miles like you won't believe! (well, except for PJ maybe) At least 2 hours of walking to get to a place then 2 more to go back. I had to . Doha is so rich that not so many people need public transportation. And gasoline is only 80 cents a liter--almost everyone would rather have a car than pay 20 bucks for a cab (which are as rare as the national animal Oryx). So I walked. And that's how I learned about the way of life in Qatar and saw for myself first hand that this place is in fact a gem. Simply beautiful in its own modest way.
Thus the song by Vienna Teng up there ^. It was on one of those loooong walks that I truly listened to the song and it humbled me. I forgot all my disappointments and just accepted my fate. Law of gravity, you can't do anything about it...besides, I heard those zero-gravity boots are way too expensive.
"Any minute now,
my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking the horizon
I'll stand on the bow,
feel the waves come crashing
Come crashing down down down, on me...
I already have a plan
I'm waiting for my real life to begin"
- "Waiting for My Real Life to Begin" by Colin Hay
I was walking along Doha's bayside Al Cornich one night when this song played exactly when I reached the spot where the old Arabian boats docked. So now you see how man forms a religion. It takes proper timing (song with "ship" for a metaphor + a boat visual = proper timing) and I'm left with two options: either I call it coincidence or divine providence.
The Al Corniche walk lasted for over an hour. That was my last long walk so far. Those walks helped me accept my fate and formulate a plan while I'm here. The plan is to just go with the flow and aggressively step up the ladder once in a while. Get a job, have a business on the side, build that business slowly and hopefully hit it big someday.
Which brings me to a rather sad note.
"You've got your love online
You think youre doing fine
But youre just plugged into the wall......
Well I know what Ive been told
You gotta know just when to fold
But I cant do this all on my own
No, I know Im no Superman
Im no Superman"
- "I'm No Superman" by Lazlo Bane
The song sounds happy but I get a big lump in my throat everytime it gets to the "I'm No Superman" part. I am strong (I think) and I have big plans but I can't do this all on my own (for lack of a better phrase).
Anyway, my first two weeks was basically touristy-sentimental-get-over-it episode. Two weeks is all you need to establish a routine. So basically, my "work" is this...I wake up at 7am. I have to because the only shower room is downstairs and people come in to work at 8am (it sucks living in the same building where you work).
Doha has its way and here work stops at noon then resumes at 4pm to 7pm (that is if you are working at a normal workplace).
But here in this building, people leave at 10pm-12midnight. We can't sleep until everyone has left cause we need to lock the doors. No, Im not a security guard, but staying up a little late affords me to watch the only access to television that I have: YOUTUBE and of course the chance to get connected with the people I love, cause I need love, I'm no Superman.
I'm no computer technician either!
My boss told me that the occupation written on my Work Visa says "Computer Technician". What?! How the hell did that happen? The only technician-ish thing I can do is clean the dirt off the mouse ball. The deal was for my amo to get me into Al Jazeera Network for a training at least, and now it looks like I'm never going to land a job that is remotely close to my expertise, not with a "computer technician" tag! And until now it looks like nobody plans to give me any sort of compensation here. Strike Two. So yeah, I can also forget about the car. Strike Three. Out? In a different sense but no, I'm still in the game. (That's the spirit!)
And what the hell?! I'm no security guard!
Like I said, I'm not a security guard nor a janitor. Sometimes I wish my occupation was as clear as a guard or janitor because right now, I have no idea what I am doing here. This building is a newly opened Education Center. It's weird because my amo and his comrades are leasing out the rooms in this building for those who are interested to run a training school of some sort (so that's what all these BBs are for harhar). So I'm stationed at the reception area because apparently I'm a "computer genius", after all I'm a "computer technician". Yey, I get to use the computer! But I also get to stand up and shake hands with every single Arab who comes in. Since I don't know these people, I assume they are important businessmen and offer them a big smile. The next day the same people come in and bring cans of paint and used rollers. Some people in the
office are annoying and think I'm their secretary they ask me to do emails and letters for them, print out reports and teach them how to surf the net. Some people also think I can make them tea or coffee, but I smile and say "you want to make tea? go make some, it's for free." Yes, I can dare to say that because nobody pays me a single cent until now.
"So I turn to you and I say
Thank goodness for the good souls
that make life better
So I turn to you and I say
If it wasn't for the good souls,
life would not matter"
-"The Good Souls" by The Doves
Everyday it's Babel in this building. A Chinese guy, some Arabs, a Sudanese, a Syrian and a Filipino, any other race interested to join the discussion is welcome. It's fun at times to exchange languages but it's often frustrating. Even the sign language gets confusing. One time I asked this Sudanese woman if she has eaten already signalling with my hand and she just stared at me blankly. I found out later that in Aladdinland that hand gesture meant "wait". I must've looked stupid. The good thing is, even though he hasn't given my salary (yet...I hope), my amo treats me like family (I sleep at their house on weekends, whew! Thank goodness for the good souls). He has a 14yr old son but he takes me to his weekend lunch instead cause the kid doesnt like to wear skirts in public (the boss speaks arabic of course so I have no idea if he's introducing me to friends or just bragging about his new slave, kidding! hehehe). I
stay in his son's room on weekends by the way, and it's cool cause the kid speaks English so after a week of silence with a 50-year old Chinese, I get to have interesting conversation with a 14-year old kid! Back to the lunches--facinating. I've been to one that had 30 guests, all men of course, cause females are in hiding. We all sat and had tea in this big sala and ate in this really long table. And I've said this before but I'll say it again, though the food is good, there's just something weird about how Arabs eat. Let's just say that for people who don't eat pork, they certainly make up for it with the way they eat...gives pig-out a whole new perspective. Don't get me wrong, I don't see anything wrong with how they eat, it's just different and they seem to love eating, like it's not a meal if it's not a feast.
But Arabs are really cool guys (there are rude Arabs but then I'd like to call them rude people) They all look like Jesus. Every time they talk, it's like from the heart, so just imagine how sincere sounding they are. It's common knowledge of course that Arab men speak softly but carry a big stick. But let's not get into that. However, I will testify that I haven't met an Arab nor even passed by another one who stunk. Unlike what we always thought, Arabs are actually nice smelling (but they say wait till the summer when the desert heats up, then say "nice smelling" again in one breath). They love designer perfume and I even have a mental guessing game as to what scent they are wearing when I get a hint.
I'm getting off track. It's supposed to be all about the routine. On routine days, I wake up at 7, do normal office work til noon, have a quick lunch, YM from 1pm-4pm, back to work at 4pm, have my nightly stroll around the block at 7pm, entertain visitors who keep coming in and out from 8pm til 11pm, have a late dinner and watch Youtube til I get sleepy. Some days I get to go out, on birthdays, meetings, errands, etc. On weekends (Thurs-Friday) I spend it at my amo's house with his kids. I usually watch a movie before going back to work on Saturdays. And yes, I do my laundry and ironing without the help of a maid.
The month went by fast but it was very eventful even in the most boring days.
The highlights?
- The extremely long walks.
- Giving the Chinese guy the silent treatment.
- Exploring the culture.
- Meeting interesting people and friends.
- Meeting the Mentor Tim Tayag (on foot haha yourself).
- Having a taste of the Doha party scene.
- Buying Robbie Williams' Rudebox.
- Getting Qatar-style medical check-up.
- Soaking in the Souq (old downtown).
- Not-so-impressive but fun buffet at Ponderosa with the foster family.
- Processing my Qatar ID.
- Watching the Asian Games soccer finals Qatar vs Iraq.
- Watching the boss' internet Cafe for a day.
- Sealing my first month with two cans of Heineken on a cold night at Al Corniche.
"I know I can be colorful,
I know I can be great.
And I know this loser's living fortunate
Cause I know
you will love me either way."
- "Colorful" by Verve Pipe
Oh I could just cry with this song. It starts with "Show is over close the story book". My show is far from over I know but guess what, a month has passed and if my stay here in Qatar is a story, then Chapter one just rolled by. Eleven more chapters to go before we close this story book. In the meantime, I know I can still be "colorful" in an otherwise anti -"colorful" society. The best line in Colorful is "you stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy". I say that to all who stuck with me even when times were and are tough. Thank you all. Love you all. Miss you all. OUT.

A couple of years ago in 2012 l was at a veterinary practice with a branch surgery, l was staying in the bungalow behind the surgery along with a locum vet.
One morning she said that a couple of times over the last couple of weeks she had been there, she had heard the sounds of someone trying to break into the branch surgery and was not sure what to do and she was very nervous.
I had slept through and not heard a thing, the bosses were puzzled and said best to call the police if she though someone was breaking in.
l told her look just wake me up l am very pissy when woken and will go deal with things ... come to that l am pissy in general so l will go see if you need to bother police or not as they have a lot on and to yank them off something important did not seem right. It was very strange there was no sign of break in attempts scratched locks or anything amiss l wondered if dogs were messing about or foxes?
2 nights later she woke me up with a loud stage whisper into my room "The noise's are back". I flung on my clothes and rang the police as l went storming round to the surgery in my usual foul temper on waking, as l stomped round l called 999. Needless to say they were not happy and insisted that l stay and they would send someone. I told them it would be more than a bit late as a van was pulling out onto the main road.
I bellowed and it stopped, l called the number, type and colour to police while the guy in it started to insist he should be there. I had a short altercation with him and police control were going nuts asking what was going on. The vet was way back yelling to be careful and back away.
As usual l followed my own path and continued walking towards him having a few words with the driver along the lines of you are talking rubbish and updating the police.
Then he pulled his trump card..... He waved a key at me and paperwork and said he was legal, followed by the immortal line a movie script would have been proud of "I am the bodyman".
I relayed this info to police control who went into panic mode almost screaming at me to get away while l almost began hit my head with my hand and making a FFS comment everything coming together with a cymbal crash.
Look l will prove it he said throwing open the back door.
It is ok l told police control he has opened the back and l can see the bodies.
At which point l think the controller l was speaking too freaked into new year and l got a case of hysterical laughter at the whole fiasco and realised she wasn't veterinary...l explained between laughter that we are a vet practice he is collecting the bodies of patients and the clinical waste l checked.
I think l heard her sigh of relief and understanding from several miles away, the vet and l were laughing and the body man also joined in (a bit) before leaving.
About 30mins later a police car rolled up to check we were ok and took it in good heart, the bosses went bright red when informed of the nights going on and at not remembering the collection service who are key-holders, to be fair to them the practice has been there l think over 30 years so things become common place and not thought about.
The night of the "Body's" will long be a legend at the practice l fear judging by the body man's reaction when he saw me the other day for the first time in 2 years when he went to the main practice to do a day clinical waste collection and saw me...he chuckles about it......now.

text: Paid Search Paid search, also known as "sponsored results" or "search engine marketing," is when you create an ad, and then buy space at either the top of a search engine results page or along the right side for your ad to appear. Paid search can be an effective way to market your company because although it costs money, your results are directly measurable. You can assess the number of clicks you get through your paid search campaign, and measure how this affects your sales. Social Media Marketing Social media marketing is engaging your brand with online communities such as Facebook, Myspace and Twitter to increase brand exposure, and ultimately sales. With social media marketing, you can generate interest and awareness about your product or service on RSS feeds, blogs and social networks. Simply sign up for a variety of social media tools, and start talking to your network of friends and contacts about your business. An added benefit is that social media marketing can help you advertise your brand via "word of mouth," which is when your network spreads the word about your company. Affiliate Advertising Affiliate advertising is a promotional idea you can use to have others spread the word about your business in exchange for a commission on each sale they make. For example, if you sell a line of health e-books, you can sign up for an affiliate marketing partnership with Commission Junction or Clinkbank. Once you sign up for an account, describe the product you're selling and communicate your commission structure, others in the network can choose to sell your product for you. Blog Marketing If your company has a corporate website, you can build a blog at little-to-no cost. Blogs help you communicate with your customers on a continual basis, and can also serve as an advertising and marketing tool. Your blog should include useful content to keep readers coming back, but you can also communicate important brand updates, coupons and discounts related to your product or service. If your blog gets a significant amount of traffic, you can include ads on your site, which can generate additional revenue for your company.

A recent newsletter from ex-Springs artist Rodney Wood commented on his recent show Symbiosis: "The show at The Modbo and Rubbish Gallery was a grand and rare success beyond all hopes and expectations. Thanks to all of you that helped make it possible and to the hordes of you that attended."
Afire with curiosity, the Indy e-mailed Wood for a little explanation. (See our story, "Would that he could," for more).
The definition of "success" is elusive and subjective. For me there are a few barometers of what makes an art show successful. I fear that too often success is defined solely by sales. Yes, that is a good thing but not the only thing that counts. For me that list also includes: attendance, publicity, reviews, interaction between the art and the viewers. Is not one of the goals of most exhibitions is to have the work be seen? So ... the more the merrier.
Did I participate in compelling dialogue or overhear others engaged in conversation about the art before them (that is very high on my list)? Funny how one type of success feeds the others - with good publicity and buzz come more attendees. I am also interested in a diversity of viewers; young, old, artists, art lovers, neophytes, connoisseurs, collectors, doubters etc. Over the years, I have experienced the gamut of "results" from art presentation (for my work and for that of others - I have curated 350+ shows, juried/judged at least a 100 and attended thousands). Some were wildly successful and others were ghost events attended by but a few of the artists friends. Another significant signpost for me is if I can sense that the show challenged, educated and perhaps even inspired some viewers - be they artists or not.
My favorite quote of the show was proffered by a stranger that came up to me after Saturday night's event and said: "Thank you ... my eyes and ears will never be the same after tonight." This was followed by a handshake and then a sincere hug ... can't beat that.
The Symbiosis show truly was successful by all my barometers and far beyond reasonable hopes and expectations.

text: Would the smarter move be to buy a backup 160 GB Apple TV? I ask because being able to buy music and other media was a good feature too. You were also guaranteed a HD quality level whereas the streaming service will probably downgrade the quality if your connection is bad. What do you think? Is buying a 160 GB the actual smart move rather than the new Apple TV?

JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) said Wednesday it will sell its physical commodities business to Swiss trading firm Mercuria Energy Group for $3.5 billion in an all-cash transaction.
Continue Reading Below
The deal is expected to close in the third quarter of 2014, subject to regulatory approvals, the investment bank said in a statement.
The bank said the sale is not expected to have a material impact on its earnings.
Facing heightened regulatory pressure and a slew of costly scandals that suggested JPMorgan's vast operations were unwieldy, the bank announced last summer that it was looking to sell off its commodity business.
By purchasing the JPMorgan assets, considered one of the most powerful global commodities trading desks, the acquisition launches Mercuria into a leading position in that sector. The unit reportedly has about 600 employees stationed around the world.
"Our goal from the outset was to find a buyer that was interested in preserving the value of JPMorgan`s physical business," Blythe Masters, head of the bank's global commodities business, said. "Mercuria is a global leader in the commodities markets and an excellent long-term home for these businesses."
JPMorgan, the largest U.S. bank by assets, said the sale will not impact its traditional banking activities in the commodities markets, which includes financial products and the vaulting and trading of precious metals, the statement said.
The firm will also continue to make markets, provide liquidity and risk management, and offer advice to global companies and institutions around the world.
JPMorgan's shares were off 0.24% at the opening of U.S. markets.

This session began with a recap on the last few months for players (for your own recap, that is the post before this one). The characters have spent the last few months cleaning out their new Keep and once or twice defending it from a few rag tag armies that wanted to claim it for their own now that the small contingent of the Defenders of Vlades has been ousted. They have gotten rid of just about all the furniture and loose debris and used some of the stone lying about to repair the walls of the Keep. The Keep is of dwarven design and manufacture so the stonework is of high quality but in desperate need of some TLC.
Most of the fighting over the Keep happened in the first month of their occupation but since they now own the base of power in this small region, many of the surrounding towns and villages have also revolted against the occupying Defenders of Vlades and the area has stabilised over the last few months. After the occupying forces retreated, the characters began to move to have some of the run away slaves of the Defenders return and ask for legitimate work which they were given. While this provided staff for the Keep, it has made the character's gold supplies dwindle steadily and they are becoming desperately in need of gold to keep their Keep running.
While a mission to a nearby town to buy the last of the food they can, a man representing all the farmers in the area asks them "Why they all look so dower? They're heroes" They tell him of their money troubles and he asks why they don't go after the Atona treasure in a ruin about a day's travel away. They have already proved themselves more than capable of fighting and there is rumoured to be lots of gold there. The Atona Keep was also a Dwarven Keep like Slavegoal which they now own (horrified faces all 'round after finding out their keep is commonly known as 'slave-jail', sharing the name of the abandoned mine nearby). After the Calamity the Dwarves withdrew into their mountains leaving the outlying forts behind. One of these, Atona, did not manage to finish clearing out their tunnels under the fort which contained the worldly wealth of Baron Bondil Glover. They had to leave some treasure and gold behind but before anyone realised this, an unknown number of critters moved in and made a home there.
The old man tells them that all they need is mayoral approval to take whatever they find and it is theirs. They duly go to the mayor who tells them that, since his mayorship began about 15 years ago, they are the fifth group to ask for permission to go after the treasure. All the groups previously were young men seeking to prove themselves and they have done so already, they are welcome to try for it and are given permission to slay any creature they find there as many of the surrounding villagers have been losing livestock at night and they would appreciate it if that ceased. The characters return to their keep with their food and decide to go after the treasure but first things were first, to rename the Keep. After a lot of debate and suggestion including Evals Peek, they settled on the name Bad Wolf Keep in honour of WinterBreeze, the Winterwolf that has taken up residence in their keep and agreed to guard it in exchange for shelter and food.
They decide to rest for a night and then set off in the morning so that they will be there by nightfall. Orah the Soaring Bear (cleric 5 of nature) who has had her hair turning green for about a month now discovers that she is in fact growing various herbs in her hair as well. Oddly not perturbed by this fact…0.0…, everyone continues with the plan for the day. The characters ask WinterBreeze to accompany them to help transport whatever they find back to their Keep. He agrees in exchange for 2 full roasted Rothe and a real bed as opposed to ground. They agree and set off.
It took the characters most of the day to travel the distance between the two Keeps but the journey was pleasant enough, they did not get attacked by anything but had an unnerving feeling of being watched. They arrived at the Keep at dusk and hid in the trees as they surveyed the ruins. In amongst the stone, they saw 4 bugbears on guard and 2 goblin scouts up on ruined tower walls.
Trying to discern if there are any illusions at work, the rest of the characters retreat as Sandra decides to throw a stone and see where it lands. Rather unexcitingly, it does exactly what is expected and clatters through a large gap in the wall onto the cobblestones. What they do learn form this though is that there are Kobolds inside as well as one runs over, picks up the rock and runs away with it. The characters rejoin Sandra and as they are discussing what to do next, an arrow with a screaming pink fletch slams into the ground from fairly near by. They all turn and look for the threat when they spot Alice in a tree nearby and she greets everyone with a hug. She has been missing from the Keep for the last month but heard about their expedition and was given permission to join them.
They continue to discuss battle plans and decide that the easiest thing is to get all of the critters out into the open so that they could see how many there were. Deciding to go along with this plan, Ormsby disguises himself as a young woman and takes Damien in the guise of a small boy down the hill as a lure. He/she manages to look sufficiently lost and frightened as the 5 Bugbears come hustling out of the ruins. As they are walking, Orah and Alice snipe the 2 goblin scouts out of existence which cause the 3 remaining Goblins and 10 Kobolds who are inside to come charging out as well.
As the bugbears come running, Alice and Orha loose another volley and injure 2 as they are running. As the Bugbears arrive at Ormsby, who had a spell readied from when they began to hustle, he released his Burning Hands explosion and killed 1 Bugbear while blasting the other 4 where they stood around him. Looking down he was glad that Damien, who was hiding from the battle in his cloak, could see nothing.
The paladin and the rogue who had been charging down the hill joined the fray, the paladin managing to cleave through 3 bugbears and the rogue dispatching the last one. The victory here is short-lived as the Kobolds and Goblins arrive and swarm them. Orah, who also left her perch to join the fray, cleaves a goblin in two with a well-placed scimitar blow. In retaliation, the goblins attack in full force injuring Tilfid and Sandra. Seeing his friends hurt and enemies swarming him on all sides, Ormsby casts Fire Burst and manages to kill 1 goblin and 6 Kobolds in one fiery blast.
Heartened by his friend's victory, Tilfid finds heart enough for a blow that decapitates 2 of the Kobolds attacking him. Orah also swings at her attacker but the the quick little pest jumped over her blade and cackled manically. Seeing this and knowing that the goblin was about to attack his injured friend, Damien who was peeking out of the cloak opened his mouth and fried the goblin, using his breath weapon for the first time to the amazement of all who see. Unfortunately, due to his distraction, Ormsby did not see the little pest on his other side and felt a dagger slice into his leg. He turned on the offending creature and blasted it in the face with a magic missile, killing it instantly. Distracted by both the little dragon and his comrade's sudden death, the last Kobold was unaware as Orah severed it's head from it's shoulders.
Standing at the entrance to the ruins and catching their breath as darkness falls, the characters part take in a little healing magic before entering the cave ruins… (Don't judge the melodrama, I was very tired when I wrote this…)

After an initial phone call taken by my husband in order to get us to switch from ADT, Honeywell Security company repeatedly has called our house easily over 50 times in the last 3 days alone. The first time I answered, he asked to speak to my husband and before I could ask to take a message he hung up on me while I was still talking. The second time he called I demanded to know who was calling first and then told him to call back after 6 if he couldn't speak with me. He did not call back that night but the following morning immediately started in calling repeatedly, declining to speak with me and hanging up when I inquired further what it was about.
After that I just let the phone ring or the machine pick up which he would promptly hang up on and redial. I finally ended up taking the phone off the hook. The harassment promptly started again today. I just picked up the phone this time, declining to say anything knowing I'm just going to be hung up on again. This time he engaged in harassment tactics saying things like "Hello, hello, do you know how to speak? Are you a robot? Do you know how to speak?"
I've tried calling the company to speak to a supervisor, but get the runaround. This is not only no way to run a business, I can't even begin to understand how they think this strategy is going to persuade us to change from our current security company to one that is clearly all about intimidation and harassment. There is NOTHING about this company that makes me want to do business with them at any time. EVER.
CALIFORNIA -- A guy shows up on my porch and rings doorbell. I asked him "How can I help you and who are you representing?" He stated he is representing the Local Police Department and to please step out of the house. I said again "Who are you representing?" He said the Police Department and "I need you to step out of the house." He kept flashing some badge as he would say who he's representing. I did finally step out because I had other family members home and he asked to me step out to the city sidewalk and asked me if I had any new neighbors on the block. I said "yes" but did not point out where.
He asked me several other questions that I thought was suspicious that I did not answer directly. Then he asked me do I see the signs on the block? I said no and what is this about. He then pointed to an ADT security sign in my neighbors yard and that's when I looked at his shirt that said "Honeywell" and his badge that said "APX" on it and I then told him that this is a bunch of crap.
This is a sales technique and that he should not be falsely representing that he is with the local Police department. I told him I already have a home security system and to please leave my property. He then said "Maam, I need to check your old security system. Let me in your residence to check your system."
Reminding me again that he is with the local Police Department. I told him "No! I do not know who you are" and he then said "I don't know you either Maam". My son, then heard how loud, and belligerent the guy was getting, so my son told him to "get off our property right now. My mom said she does not know you and does not want your product." He told my son, "I don't know you either and I was talking to your mom." I then locked the door immediately.
The Honeywell sales guy once again said "I am with the local Police Dept, please open the door and at least take my brochure." I said "No! Leave it on the door," and then I said "no don't leave it. I'm calling the POLICE!" He then left. I called my local police and after talking to three people including the watch commander, they said they would send a unit but it would be a while before they could send someone. In the meantime they would beef up patrol in the area. NOTHING... happened so these guys are still out there. Just BEWARE! This is not a Sales approach that would make me consider buying their product EVER!
PHOENIX, ARIZONA -- I purchased Honeywell Home Alarm system in July 2006, the alarm was installed with Uplink because I did not have a landline, only cellphone. In February 2008 the FCC allowed these companies to go digital and no longer analog. My daughter's home alarm is monitored by ADT and they came to her home and upgraded her system to digital and charged her nothing. Honeywell told me in order to upgrade my system it would cost me $850. This is just about what I paid for the whole system!
I am now looking for an alarm monitoring that will upgrade my equipment and hopefully at no charge. I have been a customer of Honeywell's for many years, this is my second home alarm system with them. That doesn't seem to matter!

Could someone direct me to a good site that will give details of what to avoid for gluten-free cooking. Someone said soy sauce can be bad. I checked Mayo Clinic but was hoping for more detailed product line-up. Not a health problem, just want to know for my recipe designation.
I don't have a singular resource for you except the good people here.
for the soy sauce issue. look for Tamari style soy sauces, they tend to be gluten free, but always check the package. Shoyu style of soy sauce is traditionally fermented with wheat.
You probably are familiar with the blog Gluten Free girl and the Chef; here's another one with some good information: http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/2009/04/gluten-free-cheat-sheet-how-to-go-g.html
I didn't know either site so I much appreciate your drawing my attention to them. Thank you, drbabs.
How complete is ingredient listing on products in Japan? In the US now, not only are all ingredients supposed to be listed in descending order by weight, but certain allergen ingredients are often highlighted. I just got 3 bottles of soy sauce from my cupboard. Koyo, from China, Water, organic soybeans, salt. CONTAINS SOY. Kikkoman less sodium, made in US, Water, wheat, soybeans salt, lactic acid, sodium benzoate. Nama Shoyu unpasteurized soy sauce made in Japan, OG whole soybeans, water, OG whole wheat, salt.
I searched "gluten free food list" and found http://www.celiac.com/articles/181/1/Safe-Gluten-Free-Food-List-Safe-Ingredients/Page1.html. This site will give you the parameters, since you will only be using common ingredients for home cooking (on a different page). Basically, wheat, rye, barley and related grains (spelt, kamut, farro, emmer...) are the natural sources of gluten, to be avoided. Oats may be contaminated by wheat, but tested gluten free oats are available. Individual sensitivity varies, but it is best to go with the worst case scenario. (Other lists are on the search page, too.)
Some food products, like soy sauce/shoyu, are commonly made with wheat but have wheatless forms too. In the US we have to be cautious about what is called tamari, since the term was misused by the Japanese who introduced macrobiotics to the West, and product labeling can be confusing. In recipes, I think it is helpful to note that the gluten free form of the ingredient must be used in order to be suitable for a gluten free diet.
Susan g, thank you for your detailed answer. Actually I hadn't heard about gluten-free until I joined food52. Product labeling just started about a year ago for foods considered allergic. Eggs, wheat, nuts. Thanks for giving me some sites to begin research.
So I checked the gluten-free site you directed me to (thank you). But miso is not on the list, do I have to worry about wheat in that too? Koji used in fermentation is rice, I believe.
This deals specifically with the question of miso -- http://www.glutenfreeliving.com/Browse/file/plate%20spring08.pdf (look at the right column)
I checked my refrigerator. I have 5 misos, all of them made in US or Canada, none of them with barley or wheat -- the ingredients that would have gluten. As far as I know, koji is grown on rice. You are allowed to be amused at some of the 'new' variations that are being made here!
There is quite a lot on the web that could give you reliable information. www.gluten.net is one, and the link above, is another, with an email address at the bottom of the page.. (look at the middle column -- would pertain if you want to use soba; have you ever tried 100% buckwheat soba? It's heavy and quickly becomes mushy)
Thank you, susan g. I bookmarked both sites and now I have the beginnings of some materials to research. I'm glad you could share your knowledge with us.
I ate 90% soba at Gonpachi (famous for Pre. Bush visiting). I was surprised to find that most soba noodles are only 30% soba flour. Guess I better check that too.
RICE FLOUR breads, etc. are really gaining in popularity here. Can you buy in States? Thanks.

Julian Barnes
- Nature Stories by Jules Renard, translated by Douglas Parmée
NYRB, 165 pp, £8.99, March 2011, ISBN 978 1 59017 364 0
I own two photographs of Jules Renard (1864-1910). There is no indication of when either of them was taken, and at times I have wondered if they are really of the same man. In the first, from a series called 'Nos contemporains chez eux', he sits at a cluttered desk; behind him is a scruffy bookcase and a calendar showing the first of some month; on the floral wallpaper hangs a looped speaking tube, perhaps for ordering his mid-morning coffee. He looks wary and fierce, badger-like, as if he has just been dragged from his sett, stuffed into a suit that scarcely fits and ordered to face the camera: the result is one of the most ill-at-ease author photos I have ever seen. The second shows a leaner, older figure, perhaps thinned by final illness, identifiably the same person from the hairline, big right ear and droop of the moustache; otherwise he seems a different man, a different writer. Fingers elegantly interlaced, he poses in a tapestried chair of the studio photographer Pierre Petit (of place Cadet, Paris); he is in morning dress, with a huge knot to his tie and the visible ribbon of the Légion d'honneur (which dates the portrait to post-1900). He looks worldly, a confident man of achievement: perhaps a city mayor whose recent improvements to sewerage and street lighting have been much applauded by the bourgeoisie.
In fact, Renard was a mayor as well as a writer, though only of the tiny village of Chitry-les-Mines in the Nièvre, a remote part of northern Burgundy. Today, his statue stands a few metres from the mairie occupied before him by his father, a peasant turned builder, who was locally famous as the first suicide and the first public non-believer to be buried in the local cemetery. His son Jules, elected mayor in 1904, enjoyed his civic duties, handing out school prizes and marrying the locals. He also noted in his Journal the bifurcated feelings that came with being a writer-administrator: 'As a mayor, I am responsible for the upkeep of rural roads. As a poet, I would prefer them to be neglected.' However, there had been a much greater bifurcation to resolve earlier in his life: that between the Nièvre and Paris. Renard had the soul of a countryman, the ambition of a metropolitan, and the neediness of almost every writer. Talent, hard work and his wife's dowry helped unify him as an individual, while her money allowed him to become the largest shareholder in the cultural monthly Mercure de France when it was founded in 1889.
His most famous work remains Poil de carotte (1894), the recognisably autobiographical tale of a red-headed boy growing up in a village much like his own. Its continuing power comes from its rejection of fiction's sentimental myths about childhood: Renard wrote elsewhere that a child is a 'small, necessary animal, less human than a cat'. Poil de carotte was much disliked in Chitry, not least for its harsh portrayal of the author's mother. Even Renard's father, to whom he felt closer, employed that parental withholdingness which infuriates writers even as they understand it: François Renard would notice copies of the books on his son's desk but never ask to borrow one. Poil de carotte did not at first bring Renard the success he craved. This came only when he reworked the novel as a play, in 1900; for the Parisian stage then, read Hollywood now. Fame arrived, and the bridge between the two parts of Renard's life was finally complete. You could say that in those two photographs, the first shows the countryman novelist, the second the citified playwright.

I had a hidden field (UniqueNumber) in the View and it took me ages to work out why the whole app did not "produce the goods" and with a bit of deletion of fields one by one I discovered it was the Unique Number that was the problem. As I have not tried any other hidden fields in the app I would like to know if a hidden field other than a Unique Number works OK. I'll try it with a Test Form when I have a moment. Tried it and hidden fields kill the view.
I would like to flag up the fact that a URL to a website page does not work either, again it kills the view altogether likewise an email address.
The developer shows the email but not as a mailto, that means the user viewing the page has to copy and paste the email address into their mail client in order to contact the person that uploaded the information, in this case a Honda Motorbike for sale.
*** Could JotForm ask the developer of this app to look at these two last possible features being included.
Regards Willy MG

Are you referring to the Submission View App? If possible, please provide us with the steps to reproduce mentioned issue with the Unique ID field.

Please confirm that you would like to have clickable 'mailto' links on Submission View / List View page, and we will see if there are any options.
- mgcaledonian13Answered on March 13, 2014 at 06:55 PM
Sorry the text was copied from a thread that it should not have been in, so that is why it does not specify.
Yes I am referring to Submission View.
Regarding a link to check, I will use Form Builder tomorrow to create a "Test Form" to show what the problem is.
An Email 'Mailto' can be inserted and works OK on the preview but when the 'iframe' code is pasted into the Webpage it kills the process of the 'Listing' and or ' The View'. Seems strange that it works OK in the 'Preview' and not the actual page.
Does that make sense now, I hope so !!

Hi Willy,
Would you mind providing to us the website URL where you've embedded your submissions listing so we can see the difference? This might help us identify the root cause of the problem.
I just created a sample submissions listing out of my form submissions and then embedded the form, so far it's working fine here. https://shots.jotform.com/elton/test_submissions_view.html
We'll await your reply. Thanks!
- mgcaledonian13Answered on March 14, 2014 at 02:58 AM
Yes I can see that that works OK. I can do the same, but try putting in a 'mailto' in the code and or a 'Hidden Field' like 'Unique Number' in the Form and see what happens.
For the 'mailto' I used
I will do the Demo Form later today so that you can see what happens with my form.
Regards Willy MG
- mgcaledonian13Answered on March 14, 2014 at 08:54 AM
OK I have two form made up they are :-
This one has the 'email and hidden fiels'
This one has 'NO email and a hidden field'. It is a clone of the one above, it does not work either possibly because it is a clone and there is some stray code lurking in it from the previous one
This is one that works OK and was buit ealier, this one has a hidden field that I am not displaying as it kills the Views
You could also go to http://www.mgcaledonian.com/parts-for-sale-viewer/ and see the http://form.jotformpro.com/form/40466986732971 live on the site
I hope this helps identify the cause of the Hidden and email fields killing the Views.
Please feel free to add your own submissions to any of these, I can delete yours later!!

Thank you for the update, and the test forms.
Currently running some tests, will update you once they are complete.
- JotForm SupportTitusNAnswered on March 14, 2014 at 03:05 PM
Thank you for your patience.
We're having a little difficulty reproducing your issue...
I conducted the following tests:
1. cloned your form, and ran some submissions
2. Opened up the submisison view app
3. added in the anchor tags for the email field with a mailto attribute
4. Published the iframe on a sample page - it worked
5. Added in a hidden field - refreshed the submissin view page - the mailto links were still present.
I then did some independent tests.
1. Created a form similar to yours: http://form.myjotform.com/form/40725860749564?
2. Did the same test as listed above - and the mailto attributes were not broken or stripped - https://shots.jotform.com/titus/Iframetest2.html - please note that the source form has a hidden field within it - which are the ones causing the mailto href attribute to break.
The next question would therefore be:
1. Show us the location where you have published the submission view iframe with broken links
2. Show us a location where you have published the submision view iframe with correct links
We will take a look and advice.
Thank you for your patience.

Your Previous Response:Answered by mgcaledonian13
Well at the moment all seems to be OK.
I do not know what I was doing wrong but that all seems to work now and I can only thank you for all your patience in sorting out a problem that appears not to have been there.
I am sure I did it all correctly, anyway it is sorted.

Few things irritate me as much as when self-righteous commentators condemn their opponents by comparing them to Nazis, which actually is a type of Nazi tactic itself. Nazis and other tyrants use generalizations and flimsy comparisons to denigrate their enemies.
Their tactic is simple, yet effective: First, pick the most disgusting form of life you can imagine. Next, find something your opponent does that can be compared to it by using the infamous "slippery slope"-argument and… tada! There you have it, you've just succeeded in committing character assassination. It's that easy.
Last night on The Daily Show, Lewis Black, who apparently got his comedy act from seeing how my mom acts when I leave kitchen cabinet doors open, lit Glenn Beck up for using the Nazi card so much that his show shows more swastikas than the History Channel.
Watch the video below:
|The Daily Show With Jon Stewart
|Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c
|Back in Black – Glenn Beck's Nazi Tourette's
It'd be nice to see similar mockery of Keith Olbermann and those who so frequently derided Bush as a Nazi, but maybe because so much of the media and comedy elite view that as a fair assessment, they don't see it as offensive.
OK, seriously: everyone needs to quit using the Nazi card in this way. If you want to compare a terrorist or Ahmadinejad to Hitler, emphasizing their anti-Semitism and strategy of encouraging Western appeasement, then fine. In that case you are discussing ideology and geopolitical strategy. Describing someone who advocates genocide as a Nazi is fair as well. (See David Horowitz's recent encounter with a member of the Muslim Students Association who confessed that she supports the extermination of the Jews.)
On the other hand, pretending that someone has the integrity of a Nazi over a debate over policy decisions in Western democracies – such as about the Patriot Act, ObamaCare, the war in Iraq or a civilian national security force – is absolutely ludicrous. Trust me when I say that none of these ideas are rooted in Mein Kampf.
Besides, it's not exactly the most effective way of winning an argument, is it? Those you are trying to convince are immediately turned off, offended at your characterization of their position and don't respect what you have to say anymore and stop listening.
All political commentators would do themselves a favor, as well as their audience and country as a whole, to stop using the Nazi card in such ways. The country needs honest, smart debate about our policies, not comparisons meant to denigrate those proposing them.

Dynamite Entertainment announced Javier Greillo-Marxuach will be wrapping up the four issue mini-series Battlestar Galactica: Cylon Apocalypse this May. Who is he? Perhaps you need to put down the comic books and turn on your television and catch an episode or two of Lost and Medium, both of which Javier has written and produced.

"As the series reaches its final chapter, I hope that fans of Classic Battlestar are revved up for the thrilling conclusion. Writing adventures for the original Adama, Starbuck, Apollo and company has been an awesome journey, I've made sure to put that sense of awe and excitement into every page of the series…and that's no felgercarb!"
Here's how Dynamite describes the final issue:
The Cylon Apocalypse comes to a Kobol-shattering conclusion! In this issue Starbuck races to flee the doomed Cylon homeworld as Adama and the Galactica wage a battle like none we've ever seen, against a deadly new Cylon threat! Will the fleet be able to prevent the Cylons from following them on their course to Earth! Find out as this special mini-series event concludes!
The final issue arrives in May for $3.50.
