I have played a puzzle and I have completed it as far as possible (99%). It appears there was one piece missing. Is that possible?
The piece is certainly there but it can be overlapped by the image preview window or other pieces of the puzzle. Try to look under these objects by dragging the mouse.
What does the small square in the top right corner of the puzzle preview mean?
It is called "menu trigger" and it is used to access some operations within puzzles such as playing, sharing, moving, deleting, changing properties of your private of public puzzles... Some operations can be done only if you are the author or signed in.
How can I change properties of created puzzles?
Focus on the right top corner of the puzzle preview and select Properties in the context menu. You can change the number of pieces, shapes, rotation etc. But you are not allowed to change this setting on the puzzles which were created by other users, you can change just your own public or private puzzles.
I made a puzzle and then I decided to delete it. Is it possible?
If you want to delete your puzzle, focus on the right top corner of the puzzle preview (there is a small square) and select Delete.
What is the difference between private and public puzzles and how can I move some of my public puzzles to become private?
Your private puzzles are not available to other users. These puzzles can be seen and played only by you. Public puzzles are available for everyone and are displayed in Explore. Every public puzzle can be shared on Facebook, Twitter or embedded on websites.
To move your public puzzle, focus on the menu trigger, choose Move and select a private album. If you do not have any private album, you can create it on the My Puzzles page.

From April 4 – 28, 2009, a four-year collaborative coral reef research program along the Red Sea Coast of Saudi Arabia will be completed with an expedition to the Farasan Banks.
The research is an assessment of biodiversity done in partnership with Khaled bin Sultan Living Ocean Foundation, the National Commission for Wildlife Conservation and Development (of Saudi Arabia), the National Coral Reef Institute (of the United States) and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
The expedition will collect data that will be used to develop resource management plans, identify areas of the highest biodiversity and contribute to knowledge to establish marine protected areas. They will complete in situ groundtruthing of the major benthic habitat features to calibrate Quickbird satellite imagery to create high resolution habitat maps. Additionally, underwater assessments of the diversity, abundance and population structure of reef fishes, corals, and other invertebrates will be gathered in order to assess the health and resilience of the ecosystem.
This expedition is the final phase of a four-year study of the Red Sea Coast including Ra's Quisbah, and the Yanbu Barrier Reef/Al Wajh Bank area. "This expedition to the Farsan Banks area is important because it is a geologically unique feature of the Red Sea that has not been surveyed since Cousteau was there almost six decades ago," said Captain Philip G. Renaud, executive director of the Living Oceans Foundation.
The Farsan Banks is a unique offshore coral reef system because it is well protected from pollution and lacking in common fishing stressors. The Farasan Banks is consists of pinnacles that reach up from the seabed at over 1000 feet and deep water lagoons that may contain lush coral formations. Cousteau described this area in his book The Living Sea as: "The wildest of all the reef complexes in the Red Sea … 350 miles long and thirty miles wide …. This demented masterpiece of outcrops, shoals, foaming reefs, and other lurking ship-breakers was created by societies of minute animals that have changed the aspect of our planet far more than man has yet been able to do."

The drops ticked me off to no end and they are the reason why we lost that game. I'm over the Tate experiment. We've been waiting 3 years for him to develop into the receiver he was supposed to be coming out of college. He isn't that receiver. The whiffed block on the idiotic slip screen to Obomanu at the end of the game with him standing around as Obomanu continued to fight off tackles is what really did it for me. The lack of consistency from those three receivers and their inability to get open or catch the ball is becoming a drag for the entire team.
SOLUTION: Trade Tate, Edwards and Obomanu to the Jets for Burress and activate Charlie Martin. Then fire our receivers coach and hire somebody that can actually get our receivers to get open and, more importantly, catch the ball when it hits them in the hands.

- United States Grand Prix
Who said what after Friday practice for the United States Grand Prix
Read what the drivers and teams had to say after Friday practice for the United States Grand Prix
- Race:
- United States Grand Prix
Alexander Rossi - FP1: 19th
I'm very pleased with how my FP1 session went, both for me and for the team. It was a proud moment when I drove out on track as the first American driver to take part in an official F1 race weekend session at COTA, something that will live with me for ever and an accolade I want to thank the team for, and everyone's who's backed me to help make happen here in Austin. It's obviously a bit of a shame the session was cut short by the issues with the helicopter, but the team worked really hard to make sure we could still run a decent number of laps, and by the end of the session we were only a few laps short of what we'd planned. In the car the balance was pretty good right from the start of the session. With the cold track temperatures we knew we'd have issues with tyre warm-up and that was definitely the case on the first two runs, but on run three it had improved a bit, both because the temperatures had gone up and with a couple of setup changes we'd made. I was mostly dealing with understeer throughout the session but I'm sure, with more time, it's something we'd have been able to sort out and I think my final laptime showed pretty clearly that it wasn't holding me back."
Charles Pic - FP1: 21st, FP2: 19th
We obviously had to wait quite a bit for the session to start which cut into our runplan but by the end of the session we'd still completed 19 laps which was quite close to the target, but it still didn't really help us sort out the understeer that dominated the session. The low track temperatures didn't help, but on all three runs the car had very little front grip and it was understeering everywhere, obviously meaning I couldn't push anywhere around the lap. For FP2 we made quite a few changes to the car and it was immediately better - we made a good step with the work we did over lunch and I could immediately push much more than the morning session. We started with the hard tyres and then went onto options for run two and with a bit more front wing added the grip improved in the low and medium speed corners, not so much in the high speeds, but overall it was another improvement. On the long run we started on the hards and went onto options after 15 laps. They both held up pretty well and the times were pretty competitive with the cars ahead, something we also saw in Abu Dhabi. We've completed a lot of laps today so we have a good amount of data to work on tonight and now the aim is to continue to progress tomorrow."
Giedo van der Garde - FP2: 19th
"This is my first time driving this track so overall I'm pretty pleased with how close I ended up to my teammate, and the fact that we completed a good number of laps in FP2. I was comfortable with the track from early in the session and because I'd sat out FP1 we ran a slightly different runplan for the afternoon than normal - two runs on primes, a performance run on options and then the long run, also on the options. On the first run I had the same sort of understeer Charles had said his car had in FP1 - not as bad but still not something I was happy with. We added a bit of front wing which helped a little but on run two the car was behaving a bit strangely, not like it has all year. I just couldn't carry any speed into the corners and even though my quickest lap time on the mediums was ok there was definitely time to be found. We finished with a long run on the mediums but we still had the same understeer issue throughout the run. We'll have a proper look at that tonight and I'm sure we'll sort it for tomorrow."
FerrariFernando Alonso - FP1: 1st, FP2: 10th
"I had no problem being back on track today. My back felt fine and I was able to drive the same as always. Compared to last year, the track conditions seemed better: for the first Grand Prix here, it was too new and there was a bit of oil on the track, while now there's a lot more grip. As expected, there was very little degradation today as Pirelli's choice of the Medium and Hard compounds here in Austin are an ultra-conservative choice. Generally, there were no major surprises and now we must wait and see how things go tomorrow and especially Sunday".
Felipe Massa - FP1: 7th, FP2: 12th
"Today was hard to interpret, because in the morning we got off to a good start and it seemed the track was well suited to the characteristics of our car, but then that changed in the afternoon and we were unable to set competitive times. Compared to recent races, the car has stayed the same and therefore we cannot expect a very different level of performance. But it's definitely important to understand why the car changed so much between the two sessions, especially as compared to last year, the asphalt has improved a lot and the grip has increased considerably. I don't think that is down to the rise in temperature, but maybe the wind didn't help. Now we have a lot of work ahead of us to try and improve for the rest of the weekend".
Pat Fry, engineering director
"Because of the fog in the morning, our first practice session was shortened to just half an hour of track time and that meant we had to reorganise our programme, concentrating mainly on aerodynamic testing, centred on the front and rear wings in order to find the best balance for the car. In the second session, before the usual long run tests, we tried a few different mechanical solutions aimed at completing our set up work. Compared to last year, the track seems to have improved and there is every chance that the more abrasive surface will ensure there is more grip. Tyre degradation is still an unknown factor to be assessed carefully, especially in the light of the data we acquired from the long runs. As usual, it will be very important to work out the best strategy and the number of pit stops to make during the race."
Force India
Paul di Resta - FP1: 15th, FP2: 15th
"It's been a difficult day to understand exactly where we are and I don't think my position in FP2 is a true reflection of our competitiveness. I came across some traffic on my best lap so Adrian's position is probably more representative. The long runs looked more promising and if we get everything together we can hopefully match the performance level we've shown for the last few races. The focus tonight will be on tyres: understanding them more and how to manage them over the weekend."
Adrian Sutil - FP1: 14th, FP2: 11th
"It's my first visit to Austin and I have to say I really like the track. There are some nice corners and some tricky ones where it's easy to make small mistakes. It's not that easy to learn the track either because it's a challenging lap, especially the high-speed sections. We worked hard to improve the car set-up today, but the balance is still not where I want it to be. Hopefully we can make some positive changes overnight. As for the tyres, there is not a big difference between the hard and the medium, but we managed long runs on each compound so should be well prepared for the weekend."
Vijay Mallya, team principal
"It's great to be back in Austin. The circuit still looks spectacular and the welcome from the American fans is always fantastic. Despite the disrupted morning session we made good progress today and both cars covered plenty of laps. It was a new experience for Adrian, who is driving here for the first time, but by the end of the morning session he was fully up-to-speed. Both drivers have yet to find the optimum balance and the track conditions meant it was hard to be consistent and difficult to make comparisons. The engineers have lots of data to analyse tonight to make sure we get the most from the tyres in qualifying and the race."
LotusHeikki Kovalainen - FP1: 13th, FP2: 5th
It's been a pretty smooth landing, joining Lotus F1 Team. We've had no major issues on track today and we just need to keep chipping away to see how good we can get the car for tomorrow and Sunday. We lost a bit of track time in the morning, but the car balance was reasonably good straight away. I was able to settle in and work immediately on the setup and tyre work. All the procedures and routines are quite similar up and down the pit lane, plus I'm familiar with all the systems from driving with a Renault engine already this year and previously, so it was a pretty straight-forward day."
Romain Grosjean - FP1: 11th, FP2: 8th
"It was an interesting start to the day waiting to see what the helicopter would do. After that the morning was about finding grip in the cold conditions. The afternoon was much warmer and we were able to complete some good work. We struggled a bit to get the brakes exactly as I want them on low fuel, but once that's sorted we should be well placed for tomorrow. Certainly the car feels good on the long runs so it's a positive start to the weekend."
Alan Permane, trackside operations director
"Obviously our programme was interrupted somewhat in the morning which deprived Heikki of some vital track time to get used to the E21, but this doesn't seem to have hurt his day and we're very happy that he was immediately comfortable with the car. Romain had a couple of issues with braking on his lower fuel runs which we're working on improving for tomorrow. It's difficult to draw conclusions from the cooler morning practice, but in the afternoon we were happy with the pace from both drivers; particularly on the long runs."
Rodolfo Gonzalez - FP1: 22nd
"Today was not a very straightforward day but we did make progress with the programme so it's just a shame to experience the engine problem at the end of the session. I had a very specific programme to help the Team understand some race trim issues experienced over the past few races so it's good that we have some useful data to work with."
Jules Bianchi - FP2: 22nd
"When the day is cut short to just one session it is not always easy to properly acclimatise to the circuit and be in a good place with the car balance by the end of the day. Today this was made even more difficult by the fact that the car balance has been really inconsistent, and we had to try lots of different things to try to improve. We won't know which is the right solution or how well it will work until the engineers have looked at all the data this evening, but it has been a tough day and I hope we can resolve a few things overnight to ensure we can have a better day tomorrow."
Max Chilton - FP1: 20th, FP2: 21st
"Generally I've had a good day today when everything seemed to be going in a positive direction, so I think we have to look beyond the brake disc problem that cut short my afternoon session because we seem to be making good progress. Luckily we didn't lose much time and we can find a good solution for the rest of the weekend. I have enjoyed my first day at the Circuit of the Americas and hope to see this continue tomorrow and into the race."
John Booth, team principal
"Overall, a tough day today and one where we have encountered a number of problems. This morning, Rodolfo's session was cut short by a problem with the engine, however up to that point he was doing a good job learning the circuit in what were quite cold - and therefore quite low grip - conditions. Max had a good morning during which we chose to run with relatively high fuel in order to remain flexible with the time we had available on the circuit. For the afternoon we had decided that we would run race fuel throughout so that we could look to improve the race balance issues. With Max we were well on target to complete the programme and arrive at a reasonable balance on the car, but unfortunately a brake disc failure on the right front curtailed his running. We will investigate this tonight and look to make the necessary changes going forward to the race. With Jules it was a tough ask for him to go straight into high fuel running but we felt this was required in order to formulate as full a picture as possible. Unfortunately, his car balance has been very inconsistent and this led us to try to perform a number of changes to parts on the car during the session to try to understand this. We have a busy evening ahead to work through all the data and make progress ahead of tomorrow."
McLarenJenson Button - FP1: 2nd, FP2: 9th
Sergio Perez - FP1: 12th, FP2: 13th
Martin Whitmarsh, team principal
MercedesLewis Hamilton - FP1: 6th, FP2: 4th
"First of all, I want to say that it's great to be back here in America - this track and city are just such a beautiful place to be racing, and especially with the support from all the fans we saw out there today. The circuit was quite green today, which made it pretty slippery out there as we are using the two hardest tyre compounds this weekend. After we changed the chassis yesterday, the car felt better to drive, particularly on the long run when it was pretty consistent, so that's a positive for me. The option tyre is working well for a long stint, which may open up some possibilities for us with race strategy. It was a pretty straightforward day although we still have some work to do to nail the set-up because it's not quite there yet. But all of us in the team are focused on ending the season on a high and taking that foundation with us into the winter. "
Nico Rosberg - FP1: 5th, FP2: 3rd
"That was a crazy start to the weekend with the fog and the helicopter, which forced us to stay in the pits for quite a while this morning. This afternoon we had a very good session. The car felt like it was on rails and I was very happy with the balance. I hope we can give the Red Bulls something to think about this weekend and I will be pushing 100 per cent for another podium. It's really difficult to get it right with the tyres here as the track surface is very smooth and the compounds are very hard. Therefore the tyres are lasting a long time and a lot of people will try to manage only one stop on Sunday. So it will be an exciting weekend here in Texas for the fans and it was good to see so many people out there already today. "
Ross Brawn, team principal
"Everybody in our sport knows how important it is for us to have a strong presence in America and today once again showed that this circuit can be the perfect platform. It's an excellent facility here in Austin and it was really pleasing to see so many enthusiastic and knowledgeable fans out in the grandstands. On track, it was a fairly straightforward and trouble-free day of running, once we finally got underway after the fog cleared. The track and tyres seemed pretty consistent; the biggest problems came from the gusting wind which was causing a few problems. Overall, the car seems to be in reasonable shape. We completed our programme and particularly the important high-fuel running, and things looked pretty sensible all round. "
Toto Wolff, executive director
"It was a positive, productive day. The drivers completed their programmes and the timesheets suggested we are where we would expect to be. We did good long runs with both cars, so we have plenty of data to analyse. Now we need to work well overnight and see where we end up tomorrow when it counts in qualifying. "
Red BullSebastian Vettel - FP1: 18th, FP2: 1st
"The circuit was quite slippery today; I was happy with the car, but you always know you can improve here and there. I think we got through the programme we were able to test some things, some were good and some not so good, but we will see. Ferrari looked quick this morning and McLaren could be a surprise here, and Lotus and Mercedes will be strong as normal. The track will improve now unless it rains, the car worked well on the tyres, so we'll see what we can do on Sunday."
Mark Webber - FP1: 8th, FP2: 2nd
"Today was all about tyres again; getting info on them and working out how they work best. It's nice to drive the car on fresh tyres and it was good to be out there on the circuit on what was a clear day in the end. We were working on both long and short runs today. The car doesn't feel mega yet, there's still some work to do, but we'll work on that overnight."
SauberNico Hulkenberg - FP1: 9th, FP2: 7th
"It was quite a good day. This morning was a bit of a funny situation with the fog delaying FP1. Once the session started everything went well and we managed to get through the programme we had planned. The car was ok and the performance is looking good too. However, I think there is still room for improvement, but I'm not happy with the balance on the medium tyres yet. It will be tight tomorrow, but I think we can improve."
Esteban Gutierrez - FP1: 4th, FP2: 6th
"It was a very productive day. Although the delay wasn't ideal, I feel comfortable with the track and enjoy driving here. This is important. We are in a good shape, but now we need to focus on maintaining it for qualifying tomorrow and the race on Sunday. I think we have very good chances for a good result here. There are two more races to go and my goal is to get the maximum out of what we have."
Tom McCullough, head of track engineering
"Overall this was a very positive day for our team. FP1 was cut short due to the fog and helicopter problems, but that was the same for everybody. We prioritised on the long-run, high fuel pace this afternoon in order to understand how the tyres perform on this track, which is much cleaner compared to last year. It was a new track for Esteban, but he got on top of it quickly, doing a solid job today. Our performance on both low and high fuel is reasonable, but there is still more we can get out of the package, so we are working hard to do that tonight."
Toro RossoDaniil Kvyat - FP1: 17th
"I enjoyed every single moment of driving the track even though there was a delay because of the fog and then a red flag. We didn't do the full programme of course because the session was shortened, but we still did 20 laps which is important mileage for me and we also managed to do some aero measurements. Of course I've never driven here before and I think the track is very nice. It was good to go out there to try and find the limit of the car and the brakes. I've finished driving here but for the rest of the weekend I will be attending all the engineers' briefings, which again will be a very valuable experience."
Jean-Eric Vergne - FP2: 17th
"Of course I've got no problem with Daniil driving my car in FP1, as it's good experience for the whole team for next year, but it does make life a little bit harder when you only drive one session. We struggled with the car today and I wasn't happy with the setup, but at least the long runs were good given the problem we had with the balance of the car. We definitely have to work hard tonight for qualifying and I'm confident we can improve and be more competitive tomorrow."
Daniel Ricciardo - FP1: 16th, FP2: 14th
"Today was not what we had hoped for in terms of real performance. We were a little bit off the top ten, which is where we want to be. I wasn't really happy with the balance of the car today, both morning and afternoon. We still have some work to do tonight to understand how to improve the car and hopefully we can come up with some good solutions for tomorrow. I felt as if the tyres were a bit too hard for conditions today, as it was taking a long time for them to warm up."
Laurent Mekies, head of vehicle performance
"It was the first time for Daniil in the car with us and unfortunately for him the session got shortened. But still the track was in a much better condition in FP1 than last year so this allowed him to get reasonable running. At the end of the session he got 2 runs in the car and he did a good job with no mistakes and gave some interesting feedback to the engineers. It was a good first try - so well done to him. For our regular drivers, we are not happy with the car right now. Obviously it was a little bit more difficult for JEV who had to jump straight into the car in FP2. We are equally unhappy with Daniel and therefore we have scanned a lot of things to try to find a best possible solution for tomorrow. The two cars ran quite differently in terms of set up this afternoon, I expect by putting together the best of both worlds that tomorrow we should be able to get back into our usual midfield positions."
WilliamsPastor Maldonado - FP1: 10th, FP2: 18th
"It was a difficult session today, particularly trying to get the most out of the tyres. We are struggling to get the maximum downforce here and the car feels like it's not working together between the front and the rear. The circuit is very enjoyable to drive and fast through the corners; hopefully we can look at the data from today and put a package together for the weekend to suit our car."
Valtteri Bottas - FP1: 3rd, FP2: 16th
"We did some aero testing with new parts for the car today, which look like they may provide some small gains. The track was quite slippery in the morning which seemed to suit our car but as the track improved in FP2 we struggled with the car balance. The performance in the first session showed our potential, so if we get everything right and the weather suits us it may be better for us tomorrow and Sunday."
Xevi Pujolar, chief race engineer
"We didn't get as much running as planned in FP1 due to the delayed start, but we still managed to complete most of our tests. Valtteri had a development floor which worked as expected whilst Pastor worked through a number of aerodynamic tests. Initial comments from the drivers were that the grip level was better than last year, but that they were still struggling to get the tyres to warm up. In FP2 both drivers did some further tests with different floors. Pastor also had a different exhaust configuration and rear wing level, but overall the grip and pace wasn't as good and he struggled to get the tyres to work. With the higher track temperatures we couldn't improve our times but we were happier with the configuration on Valtteri's car so both will run this tomorrow."

Lumia920 Lumia 900 has been spotted in the trailer for an upcoming movie - Olympus Has Fallen. Featured at the 2:09 marker, the white Windows Phone looks massive in the hands of a female actress in a clean environment. Nokia has kicked off an intensive Lumia marketing campaign to promote its fairly expansive family of Windows Phones in supported markets.
Not only is the Lumia 900 (and Windows Phone as a whole) a high quality experience, but Olympus Has Fallen doesn't look like a bad film at all. Check out the full trailer below (we've conveniently locked in the code to show you the Lumia device):
Updated: As our observant readers have rightfully pointed out, this could well be the Lumia 900 due to the lack of screws at the bottom of the device. We stand corrected.

Davey Hamilton has multiple responsibilities during IZOD IndyCar Series race weekends, but he was never far from the action in the No. 77 car garage during the 2012 season.
Sam Schmidt envisions Hamilton's contributions to continue this season as co-owner of Schmidt Peterson Hamilton HP Motorsports, which again will have Simon Pagenaud in the Honda-powered No. 77 car for the 19-race season that kicks off March 24 with the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.
Last month, it was announced that Canadian businessman Ric Peterson had joined Schmidt as an equity partner in Sam Schmidt Motorsports. Tristan Vautier, the 2012 Firestone Indy Lights champion who was announced Jan. 29 as Pagenaud's teammate, will drive the Schmidt Peterson Motorsports car.
Schmidt, who acknowledged that a deal is not in place yet with Hamilton, said the triumvirate would catch up in the coming days.
"We've known each other for 20 years, raced against each other, participated together in a lot of things over the last 20 years," Schmidt said of Hamilton, who drove the No. 99 Sam Schmidt Motorsports car in the team's first event in 2001 at Phoenix International Raceway. "We absolutely, positively wouldn't be where we are today without Davey's involvement.
"As far as I'm concerned, we have an agreement, we're headed forward. We're very much looking forward to raising the bar even to another notch in that program. I think we definitely had a lot of that really good momentum and mojo last year with Simon, the group of guys that he has. The strategy and the situation is not to mix that up, not to take a step back with that, but really to fill in some gaps."
"All of his experience at Indy and all of his experience on ovals in general, he always gave me some tips about the racetrack and how the races would evolve, how the car is going to change," said Pagenaud, 28, of France, who finished fifth in the championship standings. "Sam also was a great help. Everybody acts and reacts differently to situations, and if I get two inputs it's better than one.
"Davey's a good team owner to have because he shows no stress and pressure. It's enjoyable to have people who have confidence in me. It makes me want to do better."
Hamilton, 50, made 56 IZOD IndyCar Series starts, including 11 in the Indianapolis 500 between 1991 and 2011. He was the series championship runner-up in the 1996-97 and 1998 seasons.
Hewlett Packard, the multinational information technology corporation headquartered in Palo Alto, Calif., which has a long association with Hamilton, came on board as the primary sponsor for the 2012 season.

Did Godzilla have a mother? I suppose he did. Is Godzilla a mother or is he a boy? Shouldn't he be called Godzillo?

Hi Bella! I know it's been a long time since I've posted, but sometimes I just don't have words to do posts justice. Weird, eh? Especially since I like to ramble on and on (see?).
Love your work as always! My 2yr old likes your stuff too (just thought you should know that she would comment too if I trusted her on a keyboard and she had the ability to comment).
Scrolling through your blog she was transfixed! Then we came to the Don King pic and she looked at me and said, 'Eeeeewww!'

Did you hear about the Blogger Monster that ate all the comments and then there was this wonderful Woman, mother and artist who battled it all by lonesome ??? Huh? he he hehe! I'm still trying to figure out what the heck happen. Man this is wild and crazy. Apparently my computer has been hacked into and I have been sending wonderful message to family and friends, such as yourself, to buy dim little blue pills that helps one.... you know.... go blind, breakout in hives, causes memory loss, cancer, stokes, hair loss, uncontrollable hair growth, tumors, greed, despression, dirty dancing, uncontrollable drooling. I hope that you haven't gotten one. I love you.
P.S. and yes I am still packing. My mover forgot to put me in his book and now he can't do the job so now Ray and I have to move it all by ourselves. AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

If I need sensationalist catch phrases to get inspired, then I have no business doing what I need or want to do in any field or industry. Desire and motivation must come from within. You may not admit it but your desire and ideas come from within you. No one draws like you, not even if they tried. That is why you have a loyal following because you do not draw trite or commonplace themes and there is something naturally inherent in your work that makes adults fill their hearts with mirth.
As for getting motivated through his means, people are just posing. It is all so empty and meaningless to be a called an artist if you need pep talk like he gives. That is why who cares if one is called an artist or not? There is a difference between inspiration and imitation. I am glad you were able to read my comments.

And yes, between you and me, that's okay to agree and disagree but I remembered there may be some people who will take offense that I disagreed with you and I did not want them to think that I am being disagreeable towards you and they will get upset with me for disagreeing with your assessment of Houston.

Apple's claim to the letter "i" has come to a screeching halt as a trademarks tribunal has rejected the company's bid to stop a small company from using their favorite letter of the alphabet.
This particular company wanted to name it's cases for Apple products DOPi, which is iPod spelled backwards. Apple's argument was that the DOPi name resembled their own products too closely and that it had potential to confuse consumers that they were purchasing a Apple product.
Now if you stop and think about it there are currently other products on the market that use the letter "i" that Apple has not gone after - iSkin or iSoft anyone? So that must mean Apple is protecting the name iPod simply spelled backwards but intellectual property lawyer Trevor Choy has a explanation for that.
"A competitor can sometimes get away with registering the reverse spelling of a registered trade mark - iPOD and DOPi. Here, they said that DOPi stands for 'Digital Options and Personalised Items',"
We will let our readers decide this case. Should Apple have a case or is this another case of the company simply trying to throw it's weight around? Sound off in the comments below!

Frederick's MXI Lecture Interactive Experienceby Brandon Stewart '08 • February 22, 2007 Share:
Unlike many campus lectures which are largely passive experiences, Wednesday night's lecture by Professor Emeritus Peter Frederick was abnormally interactive.
The lecture, entitled, "I Pray that you will grow intellectually: Some enduring Themes, Wisdom, and Metaphor from Malcolm X" was the first in what the Malcolm X Institute of Black Studies (MXIBS) plans to be an annual lecture series about the name sake of the institution.
"We want to continue to examine Malcolm X's life, much like what we do for Martin Luther King Jr., because they are equally important," said Amina McIntyre, Assistant Director of the MXIBS,
At the start of the lecture, retired Wabash history professor Dr. Peter Frederick mentioned that the date that had been chosen for this occasion was not random. February 21st, 1965 was the date Malcolm X was assassinated. From there, he delved into his material by welcoming the audience into what he called "a three-way conversation with you, me and Malcolm."
Speaking on the history of February as Black History Month, Frederick shared that its origins lie in "Negro History Week". The week was set as the second week in February so as to lie between the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. The genesis into a month as we know it occurred in 1976 as a result of the labors of The Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History.
The importance of a lecture series about Malcolm X's life and accomplishments was especially poignant at Wabash, Frederick stressed, because of the presence of the MXIBS. A central question that this lecture series is designed to answer is why the founders of the original organization chose to name it the "Malcolm X Institute" rather than invoking the namesake of other notable civil rights activists who were perhaps less radical or militant.
During the course of the lecture, Frederick played audio of the speeches of El Hajj Malike El-Shabizz, or Malcolm X as we know him, as well as played several video clips of his life. The congregated audience was then continually encouraged to actively participate by leading the course of the discussion about what the clips meant and what significance they still hold today.
When discussing Malcolm's famous and very public conversion to Islam, Frederick spoke very honestly about this "pre and post Mecca divide." Whereas many like to separate the two and talk about a significant shift between the two periods, Frederick gave another interpretation. "Malcolm post-Mecca was just as crucial, tough and dangerous to American society as he was most pre-Mecca," said Frederick, "There was not as dramatic a change as we would all like to think."
Reflecting after the lecture, Shayne Dube '09 mentioned his desire that as the lectureship becomes more prominent, it would draw bigger crowds and would contribute more to the sort of renewed academic focus the MXIBS is attempting. "As far as moving forward and redefining the MXIBS with an educational aspect as well as social," he said, "this lecture series goes to support that mission."

Summer Safety on the Water
Failure to wear a personal floatation device is the main reason people lose their lives in boating accidents.
The National Safe Boating Council warns boaters that most drowning victims had a life jacket available, but were not wearing it when they entered the water. "It is difficult to put a life jacket on once you are already in the water," said Nancy Boldt, boat and water safety coordinator for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department. "The single most important part of safety on the water is wearing a personal flotation device."
North Dakota law requires all children ages 10 and younger to wear a personal flotation device while in boats of less than 27 feet in length. The law also requires all personal watercraft users to wear a life jacket, Boldt said, as well as anyone towed on skis, tubes, boards or other similar devices.
Water users should make sure to wear life jackets that are the appropriate size, and in good condition. It is also important that children wear a PFD while swimming.
When purchasing a PFD, Boldt suggests considering the most prevalent water activity. Water skiers and tubers should wear a life jacket with four nylon straps rather than one with a zipper, because straps are stronger than zippers upon impact with water. Anglers or persons paddling a canoe should opt for a PFD that is comfortable enough to wear for an entire outing.
Water skiers and tubers are reminded it takes three to ski and tube. When a person is towed on water skis or a similar device, an observer other than the operator is required on the vessel.
It is important for swimmers to know water depth, as serious injuries can occur from diving into water. Large objects hidden below the water's surface can lead to significant injury.
North Dakota boaters also are reminded that marine VHF radios are an important part of boat safety that should not be improperly used by operators. Boldt said they are intended for boat operators who are in distress and facing an emergency situation.
Regulations to help ensure safe boating this summer are found in the 2012-14 North Dakota Fishing Guide. A more comprehensive listing is available in the North Dakota Boat and Water Safety Guide or the Boat North Dakota education book. These guides are available online at the Game and Fish website, gf.nd.gov, by email at firstname.lastname@example.com, or at a local Game and Fish Department office.

Every old hand here knows Roger. Usually he has the best advice available. He always cautions to be careful, thorough and reduce your risks of running into trouble. When trouble arises he always has a viable solution to offer. The following quote from one of his posts in another forum should be a reminder that even the most wise and experienced run into problems in China. Roger, my heart goes out to you and I sincerely hope all works out for you. To the newbies, read and realize that everything is not what is seems to be in China! Roger: Quote: I quit my job of two years just a couple of weeks ago. 35 kids of one class made paper fans as farewell gifts for me. Their teacher and I had had one year of smooth communications and cooperation. I loved her kids, and they behaved like darlings too! Several other classes were much the same. I left saddened and feeling exploited. Not by this class and her teacher, of course. I felt betrayed and let down by others in this school. My first year there was almost twelve months of sunshine and mutual respect. From day one to the last day in my first year, it was like a holiday season with pay. I actually looked forward every Sunday to my lessons on Monday. If anything ever troubled my mind then, it might have been the too-frequent presence in my classes of media people and photographers! BOth the TV and a couple of newspapers were invited to report on me. I demanded that the TV crew make a VCD of their report, and they obliged. This VCD is a selling point in my CV. However, I do feel schools are taking their liberties too far in using pictures of expats to promote their school. Anyway, the school even invited me on a holiday trip in the summer holiday season. I got paid for twelve months. In sum, I was treated almost exactly as a Chinese. The only difference was - my Chinese colleagues put in more hours per week than I ever did. The second year started off to a poor start, and in week two I told my waiban that I was definitely feeling unhappy there. She did not ask me why. The main reason was that the principal was dawdling over my visa, putting enormous psychological strain on me. In addition, they were trying to recruit a second expat! I shared an office with three teachers. When the school finally had a second expat, she was moved into our office. Believe it or not, but one of the three girls that had worked with me for over one year demonstratively moved her desk out in displeasure over the hiring of another expat. She was later ordered to move her desk back in. That expat was a young English girl, and nothing was wrong with her, except the fact that she was on loan from a training centre, and inevitably, there was a falling-out between her and her employer. We had to hire another expat through the same agent, with the same result within one month. Finally, a third expat was hired in just 5 months. These teachers cost the school a lot more than myself, of course. Gradually, I began to feel that the school was trying to scrimp and save maos and fens at my expense. At first, I had to remind my waiban that several VCD's had disappeared, and I needed replacements. I was promised them, or rather, I was promised that she would tip our principal off. In two months, nothing happened, I had to improvise lessons without those VCD's. I finally forced my waiban to own up, and she did own up: No, she said, she would never request our principal to buy new VCD's! Why? Because the girl had had a run-in with the principal herself many months before: she had suggested that the school buy certain books from a Hong Kong publisher. These books were pretty expensive, and turned out to be useless in our school. The principal then was angry with my waiban, and my waiban did not have the guts to face her boss over a suggestion from me. In other words: I had to buy those VCD's at my own expense, in my spare time, and I did! Finally, I was told I was using the office computer too often. While nobody in my office ever used it between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. - when our first classes began - the girl that had moved her desk out of our office when the second expat arrived found fault with my habit of surfing on the Internet. The computer was eventually moved to a larger room to which I was not allowed entry. Well, I had to while away a full hour before my first lesson, due to the whims of bus timetables. When the heat began to be unbearable (with our office facing right east), the remote-control of the aircon was missing. Later I knew that girl was hiding it in one of her drawers. I brought a remote control from my own home and turned the aircon on before everybody else. A new tactic now: That girl would enter our office and leave the door wide open, then open the window too so the heat from outside could penetrate into the office. If I was however briefly absent, she would switch off the aircon and leave the office. By the time I was back there it would be stiflingly hot and humid. Now would anyone know how to deal with Chinese colleagues like her? I did not know what to do, whom to contact about it. I certainly did not expect my waiban to take sides with me against her colleague, and I could not seek redress through the principal either. Suffice it to say that a small circle of like-minded people eventually succeeded in making me feel so utterly helpless and isolated that I threw the towel. The reason I advanced for seeking an early exit was that the visa I had expired before my contract expires (next month). I also have to get a new passport. The visa issue has a lot to do with their muddling at the beginning of the school year. Instead of accepting in good faith my notice of termination, the principal got angry and highly vindictive. At first she tried to cut my salary by one month and airfare for the last two months (prorated and added to my monthly pay). We negotiated it down to a cut in my pay for three weeks, the same three weeks that I walked out early. In addition, she deducted an exaggerated amount of money for the purchase of those VCD's that had gone missing earlier. I asked why they made me pay ONE YEAR AFTER THE FAIT ACCOMPLI, and they said because I was leaving them. A principal that does not take revenge is not a principal!

Re: The Big Isn't
(Ok, sorry this is so late. Too much going on recently.)
50,000 credits. How much better could it possibly get?
I would've smoked that monster for free, he thought to himself as he lay in the shadows of a rooftop, getting his surveilance on the surounding area. Now I can do it and make enough to get back home. This is just exquisite.
Of course, that's assuming he could manage to fulfill his task. Even at his best, it would be tough for the Gunslinger to defeat the devil...now he was practically naked, underfed, wounded, unsupplied, and all but unarmed. The slugs True Warrior had handed him would do if he had a perfect situation, but he couldn't afford to waste them. Thirteen shots is enough to kill, but not enough for a drawn-out firefight like was likely to occur. And in a city like this it was completely impossible to locate slugs like he one he needed. Extra ammunition wouldn't be coming along anytime soon unless he switched to a new weapon.
Ideally, however, he wouldn't need them at all. He worked most comfortably from the shadows, as a good assassin should. The right moment, the right setting, and he could kill the beast with his bare hands if he wanted to, no sound at all. Drop, snap, 50,00 credits richer.
Of course, it's always better to not take chances. And that armor might complicate things a bit.
His eyes scanned the spacepart below him. The crowds were thinning and the streetlumos were just starting to come on as the city dropped into dusk, marking the arrival of his era. He ruled the nights, despite the fact that no one else knew it. It's always best that way.
Sometime soon that hunter would have to come by. Maybe the Gunslinger would strike, maybe he would bide his time. Assassins have to be patient out of necessity, and for a setup that needed to be so perfect, he was willing to bring himself to the point of starvation before attacking. He could eat all he wanted with 50,000 credits.
