Anatomy of a Template Tag
This document provides a brief examination of the animal known as the WordPress template tag, to help those who may be new to WordPress and PHP understand what template tags are and how they're used.
A WordPress template tag is made up of three components:
These are explained below.
PHP code tag
WordPress is built with the PHP scripting language. Though you certainly don't need to be a PHP developer to use it, knowing a little about the language can go a long way in getting the most out of WordPress. Here we provide a tiny bit of that PHP knowledge:
<?php ?>
The above shows the opening (<?php) and closing (?>) tag elements used to embed PHP functions and code in a HTML document, i.e. web page. There are a number of ways to embed PHP within a page, but this is the most "portable," in that it works on nearly every web server—as long as the server supports PHP (typically a document's filename also needs to end with the extension .php, so the server recognizes it as a PHP document).
Anything within this tag is parsed and handled by the PHP interpreter, which runs on the web server (the interpreter is the PHP engine that figures out what the various functions and code do, and returns their output). For our purposes, the PHP tag lets you place WordPress functions in your page template, and through these generate the dynamic portions of your blog.
WordPress function
A WordPress or template function is a PHP function that performs an action or displays information specific to your blog. And like a PHP function, a WordPress function is defined by a line of text (of one or more words, no spaces), open and close brackets (parentheses), and typically a semi-colon, used to end a code statement in PHP. An example of a WordPress function is:
the_ID() displays the ID number for a blog entry or post. To use it in a page template, you slip it into the PHP tag shown above:
<?php the_ID(); ?>
This is now officially a WordPress template tag, as it uses the PHP tag with a WordPress function.
Optional parameters
The final item making up a template tag is one you won't necessarily make use of unless you want to customize the tag's functionality. This, or rather these, are the parameters or arguments for a function. Here is the template function bloginfo(), with the show parameter being passed the 'name' value:
<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
If your blog's name is Super Weblog, the bloginfo() template tag, when using 'name' as the show parameter value, will display that name where it's embedded in your page template.
Not all template tags accept parameters (the_ID() is one), and those which do accept different ones based on their intended use, so that the_content() accepts parameters separate from those which get_calendar() can be passed.

VR pioneer and techno-philosopher Jaron Lanier discusses his new book with the New York Times' Maureen Dowd.
Through a fascinating look back over his life in technology, Jaron Lanier, an interdisciplinary scientist and father of the term "virtual reality," exposes VR's ability to illuminate and amplify our understanding of our species, and gives readers a new perspective on how the brain and body connect to the world. An inventive blend of autobiography, science writing, philosophy and advice, this book tells the wild story of his personal and professional life as a scientist, from his childhood in the UFO territory of New Mexico, to the loss of his mother, the founding of the first start-up, and finally becoming a world-renowned technological guru.
Understanding virtual reality as being both a scientific and cultural adventure, Lanier demonstrates it to be a humanistic setting for technology. While his previous books offered a more critical view of social media and other manifestations of technology, in this book he argues that virtual reality can actually make our lives richer and fuller.
Lanier appears in conversation with writer and New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, author of 2017's "The Year of Voting Dangerously."

The Crisis in the Arts MANAGEMENT CAN BE CREATIVE, TOO By CHRISTIAN P. FREDERIKSEN/National Services Director for Cultural Institutions, and DIANE LANSING/Director, Community Service Organizations Program From the standpoint of a museum director or, say, the general manager of a performing arts organization, 1974 was not a banner year in terms of finances—and 1975 does not look much better. Costs are skyrocketing when the public can least afford higher prices. A major increase in government funding seems remote as pressure mounts for restraint in public spending. And convincing a major donor to keep supporting the opera, when his investment portfolio has all but disintegrated, takes a near miracle. The arts "industry" is particularly vulnerable to both recession and inflation. Expenditures for labor, the principal expense of an arts organization, are rising rapidly, as salaries for support personnel increase and as artists themselves, no longer content with their traditionally substandard incomes, are demanding higher wages. Various surveys have indicated that the majority of Americans believe arts organizations are self-supporting. This is not true—admission revenues never have and probably never will cover the cost of operations. A large part of any arts budget has to come from public and private sources. What are these sources of financial support? Historically, the major support has come from foundations and individuals, and to a lesser extent from government and corporations. In recent years, however, the influence of government has been expanding. This changing pattern of support creates new challenges and new problems for arts organizations. "Social responsibility" is a current buzz-word in the arts. Simply stated, both donors and recipient organizations have taken steps to make the arts available to a wider segment of the community and to enlist a broader base of funding. This has been prompted particularly by government programs. Many state and federal grants have been used to encourage arts groups to tour in culturally and geographically isolated communities and to perform before students or for the elderly and handicapped. In addition, to encourage increased public support of the arts, many government grants now require organizations to raise matching funds in order to receive funds. These programs have been beneficial. They have undoubtedly helped organizations to expand their involvement in their communities, although they still remain largely outside the mainstream of local government planning, decision-making, and programming. Likewise, the matching requirements have created the necessity for a stronger base of local support money. The programs have stabilized some organizations by permitting them to maintain longer seasons—in some cases to operate throughout the year; this avoids the agonies of an annual birth and death cycle. Recipients of government funds have, however, been left on their own to develop support functions for these programs. Examples are arrangements for bookings and touring, new fund-raising approaches, and methods for reaching new audiences. In addition, as the level of support has grown, so has the complexity of application, reporting, and evaluation procedures. Experience in other nonprofit industries, such as health care and education, suggests that continued government funding will lead to even more administrative controls on the grantees. These are some of the economic facts of life. There is certainly no lack of concern on the part of arts leaders; the question remains only as to how the problems can be resolved. There are two areas where arts organizations can move rapidly and practically to improve their situation. One is the area of administration and management; the other is the way in which arts organizations are structured. Managing the Arts Arts administrators usually have been chosen because of their interest in a particular art form, seldom because they have specific management ability or training. This selection process has had predictable results. With costs soaring and with intense competition for available financial support, there is a growing realization among arts groups that effective management techniques are necessary for survival. Several outside forces are causing arts management to be upgraded: • A growing number of grants and major donations are either for management assistance or are contingent upon specific management results. Many Ford Foundation grants, for example, are continued only if the grantee reaches a specified goal in terms of fund raising, deficit reduction, or some other milestone. • Several enterprises, such as Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts and local volunteer service bureaus, have been set up to provide basic legal and management guidance, generally to smaller groups. • The recognition of the arts as an industry has led a number of universities to offer specialized programs in arts administration. These schools are graduating an ever-increasing number of trained arts administrators. • Corporate support of the arts is also acquiring new 47

7-Channel A/V Receiver using class-D ICEpower amp & AIR Studios Monitor Sound Tuning Certification
- 140 Watts x 7 Direct Energy ICEpower Amplification
- Important Firmware Update Information for Rhapsody Subscribers
- 3-Zone Multi-Zone and Source (A/V)
- HDMI® Ver. 1.3a (5 Inputs Including Front HDMI Input / 2 Outputs )
The Pioneer® Elite® SC-25 A/V receiver is the entry point for Pioneer's exclusive Direct Energy HD amplifier with ICEPower® Class-D technology; specifically designed to bring a new level of performance to stereo and multi-channel surround sound. The driving force for its development was the anticipation of new uncompressed soundtracks from Dolby True-HD and DTS-HD Master audio now emerging on the Blu-Ray Disc® format, bringing sonically exact studio duplication into the home.
With performance certifications from both THX® Labs and Pioneer's sound tuning partners at AIR Studios in London, England, the SC-25 has expert certifications for noise, distortion, frequency response, and amplification output as well as Advanced Auto MCACC sound tuning directly influenced by AIR Studios professional technical engineers.
The SC-25 employs Pioneer's exclusive 3-D Space Frame Construction with an ultra rigid trans-stabilizer. Together, this construction technique isolates and dampens the power amplifier and pre-amplifier sections to perform more like separate components.
As a leader in HD-Video signal processing, the new Elite receivers incorporate HDMI® 48-Bit Deep Color and x.v. Color capabilities, analog video conversion to HDMI, standard definition video upscaling to1080p, and Pioneer proprietary PureCinema I/P conversion. Full unprocessed 1080p/24fps Blu-ray Disc resolution will find its way to your 1080p HDTV without unnecessary interference by the receiver, and lower resolution formats will benefit from precision video processing. The Elite SC-25 has 5 HDMI inputs, one of which is conveniently located on the front panel, and 3 component video inputs for a total of 8 assignable high-definition video input options.
This latest line of Elite receivers is among the first to be Works with iPhone™ certified, ready to bring your iTunes® library, photos and videos stored on your iPhone and YouTube® content accessed from your iPhone to your home theater. Even navigation is made easy and fun with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that provides on-screen album art, all from a newly designed LCD illuminated learning remote. The SC-25 expands your entertainment options further with audio and photo streaming from your PC through an existing home network, and antenna inputs now make it ready to bring subscription services from SIRIUS® and XM® Satellite Radio* into your home entertainment system, rounding out the wide variety of new media options.
The Elite SC-25 receiver is also fully custom integration ready with several new features including 3-zone A/V, dual parallel HDMI outputs, 3-zone on-screen Graphical User Interface, satellite radio and zone distribution of all other analog inputs to up to three zones. Discrete front panel and remote on/off, input select, and volume controls for main, 2nd, and 3rd zones makes distributed whole-home entertainment a very real possibility.

National Signing Day: One changed phone number later, DE Carter chooses Georgia
For the longest time, Norcross, Ga., defensive end Lorenzo Carter seemed likely to end up at Florida. He reportedly was favoring the Gators as early as last summer, and his first official visit was to Gainesville, almost four full months before he took his next official trip.
But sometime during Florida's disastrous 4-8 season in 2013, Carter's interest began trending away from coach Will Muschamp's team and toward the home-state Georgia Bulldogs. On Wednesday, Carter made it official, picking Georgia over Florida, LSU and Florida State at a press conference held at his high school and televised on ESPNU.
MORE: Signing Day Central | Photo gallery | McDowell to MSU? | Evans picks Tide, stings Tigers
In Carter, coach Mark Richt has landed one of the elite edge rushers in the country. The 6-foot-5, 235-pounder is rated by 247Sports.com as the second-best weak-side defensive end in the country and the No. 20 player overall.
The writing was on the wall for this decision. Carter took his final official visit of the process just last weekend to Athens, and his mother, Lisa, told Michael Carvell of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the visit was an "11" on a 1-10 scale.
The most notable item from that AJC story is what happened after Carter returned from his visit. On Monday morning, as Lisa Carter tells it, the family began discussing Lorenzo's final decision — and his cell phone wouldn't stop ringing. So, Lisa went ahead and got his number changed, and per Lorenzo's wishes, his new number was given only to his immediate family members and his grandmother.
With that out of the way, Carter was free to ponder his choice with much less stress, a process that ended with his decision to join the Bulldogs. Carter told ESPNU that Richt did a great job of recruiting him, and that the hire of new defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt from Florida State was also impactful.
"I decided to stay home, represent my state and hopefully bring a national championship back to Georgia," Carter said.
With Carter's commitment, 247Sports ranks Georgia's class as the eighth-best in the country (and sixth-best in the SEC). And while the Bulldogs managed to sign just three of the top 10 players in the state of Georgia, the ones they did sign are three of the best, with Carter, No. 2 in the state, joining No. 1 player Nick Chubb, a running back, and No. 5 Malkom Parrish, a cornerback.
Lorenzo Carter, DE (6-5, 235)
Norcross (GA), Norcross
What stands out: Core strength, lower-body power.
What needs development: Pass coverage, block-defeat skill
What happens next: Should make his presence felt from Day 1 on coverage teams and work his way into the rotation early.

MWC 15 Special
During today's 3GSM Conference, Samsung unveiled their latest Windows Mobile Smartphone, the so far unknown SGH-i320. What the i320 makes so interesting is the fact, that it is a direct competitor to the Motorola Q since both devices share the same slim form factor while the i320 is - according to Microsoft - even slimmer!
Also, unlike the Motorola Q, the Samsung will be released first in a GSM version and this can be expected to happen soon: during Q2 2006.
But here we go with some shots of the device, as always - a photo say more than thousand words:
Interesting enough, neither Samsung nor Microsoft mentioned this device in their
press releases or press conferences, so this is something brand new! Also a
price indication wasn't given yet.
Cheers ~ Arne

GOP Senate hopeful Summers holds Maine town hall meetings
BREWER, Maine (AP) � Republican Charlie Summers is holding a series of town hall-style meetings in his campaign for the U.S. Senate.
The first of five of the meetings takes place on Friday at a bank in Brewer.
Summers calls the meetings "conversations" with Mainers. He says he will share his views on how to cut spending, keep taxes low and grow the economy.
Additional gatherings are being held in October in Kennebunkport, Waterville, Bath and Portland.
Summers is running for the seat being vacated by Sen. Olympia Snowe, who is not running for re-election.
He is running against independent Angus King, Democrat Cynthia Dill and three other independents.

I have a set files that I downloaded with extensions (.e00, .e01, .e02, etc). I have read that these are files used by ARC Info mainly, but I do not have ARC and nor am I really that interested in downloading it. The funnier thing is that I am able to convert a .e00 file in QGIS to a .shp set, but if the file has been broken into many .e0n files, QGIS does not recognize the others and leaves me with only have my shapefile. I have tried taking the other files and copying and pasting their contents to the end of the .e00 file, but this resulted in a very erroneous shape in QGIS. I have been searching for some while now if there is a way to do this with ogr2ogr, but haven't found anything for a set of files like this. I also downloaded e002shp, but had no idea on how to go about using it and didn't find much online for that one. If anyone can tell me any command-line tools I could use (preferably ogr2ogr) or a way to do this in QGIS, I'd gladly appreciate it :)
Actually I'd appreciate any tips, but that is the software which I am more familiar with ;)

Microsoft Studios has today announced a new Xbox exclusive title coming this spring. While console gamers are used to explosions, high-octane races and adrenaline pumping combat, this new title is something a little bit different: World Series of Poker: Full House Pro.
And there I was thinking it was going to be a major exclusive, silly me
They play it off like its Journey or Limbo. Another Poker game. Why buy this when 99% of pokee games are free online.
Cause not everyone is poor or down on their luck or always expecting FREE stuff like a loser. Some of us can pay ,buy,charge without whining about cost. If you can't buy it or afford it keep walking.
I completely agree. It's a redundant product that's not interesting and is a pointless attempt by a news site to get hits. It's a lame tactic. In regards to KMCOCK54 - yeah a great way to keep the money you earn is to not blow it on useless crap. An essential component to NOT being poor I think you'll find.
Who cares this generation is over sale your consoles and go PC and wait for next gen. Because next year they wont be worth squat.
Lol @ the same old troll attempts for EVERY single MS ad from the same people.
On topic..
Loved Full House Poker but this sounds like its going to be huge with free to play and the WSOP license attached for added realism. Cool concept and itself be interesting if you can play against Windows 8 players directly.
Texas Holdem was great, Full House was better but this sounds like its going to be big on Arcade.
The PS3 has some of the best games ever created coming out in this year.
Alone "The Last of Us" and "Beyond Two souls" will be 2 games that will define the whole gaming industry in a complete new way.
They do so much new things no one could have thought is possible with such old hardware.And im not talking only about graphics > The Last of Us will have the best AI in Console Gaming ever created.
The gen is over for 360 gamers but not for PS3 Gamers.They still get like 20+ exclusives this year WORLDWIDE.
The 360 gets a Gears of War Spinoff but well..360 gamers should be used to it LOL
"Cause not everyone is poor or down on their luck or always expecting FREE stuff like a loser. Some of us can pay ,buy,charge without whining about cost. If you can't buy it or afford it keep walking"
PAY for something, redundantly free everywhere else, simply because you can afford it? Who would do such a thing?
You shouldn't be expecting anything major for 360. MS isn't going to announce a major title that's going to release in mere months upon announcement. All the major titles will come when the nextbox is revealed.
@Box For the 20th time that's what I been saying. But for some reason when I say it I get disagrees.
Ms is more than likely releasing casual games for the 360 and leaving all the hardcore newer titles for the 720.
This Xbl poker game is great way to keep people interested and win real prizes and its F2P so people can download it and jump right into it.
I guess it takes someone else to say it and make it clear, but when I do it its disagree marathon I'll never understand why.
i am still a little not sure if we are going to see a big new IP for the launch of the next xbox since M$ hasn't release a triple A IP that isn't gears of war or halo since 2010
You sound like people who lose at poker. Sit down at my table I'll gladly take all your money.
Why waste time, development and money on something this late in the cycle? Everything right now is pointing towards a new Xbox launching this year, they have around 18 studios that have been very, VERY quiet for the last 2, 3 years.
I think Microsoft just takes the idea to launch a new console with a strong lineup.
Interested to see what the next Xbox brings!
But when the Uncharted card game was announced, Sony is god.
Can I ask you guys a question hell and Nuka, why do you guys open and comment MS /360 related articles if you guys worship Sony?
@Riverstarter - That would be aswsome but instead of money you can gamble your gamer points, achivements or MS points.
dude read nuka past messages and u will see the guys is neutral bus does say truth that hurts the fanboys of both consoles.
As someone who prefers the Xbox I can tell you this news is pretty boring. We have plenty of poker games on XBLA, is this needed? F2P okay... still
And Nuka does lean towards the Sony crowd but at least he speaks sense most of the time unlike 90% of the sony fanbase around here.
"But when the Uncharted card game was announced, Sony is god."
Uncarded got tons of hate, even from PS3 owners where you been?
Have a re-read of the comments -
What... Were you reading? A lot of people didn't like the Uncharted card game idea... :\
I love card games, I love Uncharted, yet even I found that to be odd and unnecessary.
Sony is good, because it gave not _only_ an Uncharted card game, but also the Golden Abyss - a sterling portable action-adventure. So Hunt for Treasure is an addition to Golden Abbys. And what is the game that come in addition to MS card game?
Another poker title on XBLA.........................
C'mon MS!
Lol...really Microsoft...really? Shit you can already play poker in other games as a side thing to do, far cry 3 anyone? I'd rather have poker thrown into a game than a standalone..this is something you'd find on the android market for free and last time I checked xbox isn't a phone.
Microsoft is really doing wrong by gamers with crud like this... I hope they start treating their customers better when it comes to actual games in the future. Something like this is just not needed...
They need to focus on making some big exclusives that can compete with Sony's. Yet they seem to just be complacent with where they are, no longer trying... I just don't like seeing gamers (despite which platform they may or may not choose.) get the short end of the stick on things like this. That's what really matters after all, right? The games...
Xbox... Exclusive?? If I had 1000 guesses of what MS was releasing I would never have guessed that.
EDIT - Oh, it's a poker game.... great.
Welp, anyone want to buy my PS3 & games? With an exclusive like this, I have no choice but to go with the 360.
Now if they made the game play with real money, I'd say that is awesome. Unfortunately it will be another painfully slow paced poker game for the 360. Freaking George W. Bush!
I used to think Xbox had no exclusives but boy do I feel like a fool now.
Whatcha talkin bout
With exclusives like this Ifeel more comfortable that Istopped paying for xbl and put the 360 in the living room for my wife to play kinect. Problem is all she does is play the games we already bought... mainly minecraft and carcassone. She can't make herself buy any kinect games yet...lol!
Can't win your XBL fee back, it seems it's not about real money, you get a new stack of chips every day.
Not sure if trolling or serious...........i think the MS heads need to retire and make room for passionate and young heads. You know someone with ideas for new and exciting games. Whats next an exclusive game of Cricket or that other old people game that looks like Hockey.........or perhaps Hopscotch.
Dude, Microsoft isn't going to announce a another new major exclusive unless it's for the new Xbox. Let's atleast be rational about the the announcement of a new exclusive for the dying Xbox 360.
All this exclusive does is add the World Series of Poker brand to the poker game Full House Poker game.
Lets be real i would have agreed with you had this been the only year where MS didnt announce or push forward new exclusives or ip's but its been like that for years now.
Is this really big news or just another slap in the face from MS to the core audience they hate?
I'd say slap in the face. If they make an exclusive lawn bowls game, I think I might put a gun to my head.
They hate the core audience but spend hundreds of millions of dollars making Halo 4?
I will never understand why certain groups of people hate the fact that Microsoft continuously releases the AAA titles that drew people to the platform in the first place.
I think people here wouldn't be happy unless Microsoft was releases niche titles that nobody buys. As someone who bought a 360 at launch specifically to get Gears Of War, I've been more than happy with my purchase this generation.
aren't u tired of playing halo all this year...?
How do you know a new title wouldn't sale? I've been an Xbox faithful since it's release and have not seen anything from it since 2007 that was new and unexpected.
Halo4 isn't going to do it alone. We want other franchises to either make a proper return or see games that are fresh instead of multi-plats. It's not my money to spend (I know) but you gotta admit it would be a good feeling for MS to start showing gamers a little love other than the normal. The next box might be a different story but I see nothing wrong with wanting MS to focus more on games instead of everything else.
Of course not! It only came out in November of 2012. I play Halo 4, BO2, Gears 3, Forza Horizon, Minecraft and Battlefield 3 online for the most part right now.
Just look at games that aren't the top sellers for Microsoft. Games I've enjoyed like Ninety Nine Nights, Ninja Blade, Viva Pinata, Lost Odyssey and even Crackdown. All of those games I enjoyed quite a bit, but none of them had stellar sales.
Each console generation sees 3 to 4 years of great releases, the Xbox 360 is on year 8. There comes a point when you switch focus and start working on software for the next console. That tactic is different than Sony, but it could work to Microsoft's benefit if they have a great launch lineup that wasn't hindered because developers were working on old hardware.
The way I see it things can go two ways. 1.Let your studios keep working on current hardware and have a lackluster launch lineup. 2.Switch the majority of studios to next generation and let a select few studios put out AAA blockbusters that a good percentage of 360 owners will actually buy.
I also think with the evolving XBLA Microsoft was able to give us store quality games at a much greater rate and much less cost.
I don't expect everyone to agree with me, but I'd take Halo 4 over something untested or something niche any day of the week. So many people complain about lack of new IP's when it's clear that new IP's help push a console generation at launch.
A good example of this will be The Last Of Us from Sony, it looks great, I'm buying it on PS3 certainly, but imagine if it was a launch PS4 title? It would give that new console quite the push and a new IP going into the future.
I want to see the next Halo or Gears, Microsoft is smart and understands core gamers buy consoles at launch. If you look at launch window games for the Xbox 360, you tend to understand why it did so well. COD2, Perfect Dark Zero, Kameo, Saints Row, Prey, Condemned, Blue Dragon, Dead Rising and soon after Gears Of War. It was one of the better launch windows I've ever seen.
"They hate the core audience but spend hundreds of millions of dollars making Halo 4?"
The core needs more than one sequel to be happy.
"I think people here wouldn't be happy unless Microsoft was releases niche titles that nobody buys. "
Umm, MS does release niche titles that nobody buys. Check the sales of Steel Battalion, Fable the Journey, The Gunstringer, Rise of Nightmares, Haunt, Nike Kinect Training, et. No one bought those.
Jek_Porkins: Yeah I kind of see where you're coming from but still need to see it to believe it. I haven't seen anything other than the norm for maybe 4 years now. Honestly I doubt they just dropped the ball this long on purpose. Something went on internally to the point to where they lost touch with fans. Next gen I feel MS will finally start to listen because if not they will be even more out of touch.
The reality is the author was just looking for hits based on the title. There are a lot of Xbox live exclusives released and many of them, including this one, are great for Xbox live arcade downloadable games. Those of you comparing this to retail releases are silly.
yep looks like im going with sony next gen
You always were going to do that. Why pretend like this was the deciding factor or tipping point for you. Seems too fradulant and obviously pretentious.
This should make poker nuts happy. This will be huge. More xbox live gold accounts coming....lol
Some people here making a big deal that it wasn't a AAA title for xbox360 when clearly its for their Xbox brand as you will be able to play across xbox service on pc/tablets/phones and obviously Xbox360. I think its a cool avatar game tho who doesn't like playing some poker once in awhile whether with real chips or play money.
Microsoft needs to be shamed of them selves seriously, there is no need for a crap as game like this when you barley release any core games in the last 2 years. Microsoft is testing my loyalty to the limits, I honestly think that Microsoft fans should start a petition, stateing that if they do not show in the next six months that they are attempting to cater to the core gamer that we will all cancel our xbox lives accounts and boycott the next xbox. They are spending more time on getting fucking apps and releasing garbage like this then delivering the next gears or halo. OK so this gen is coming to a end and you are scared to take a risk on a new ip fine, but microsoft you have these great games in your back catalog why in the hell aren't they been remade. Now if they come out swinging next gen then I guess I would owe them a apology some what, but it still won't change the fact that the last 2 years of 360 the fans that made you are getting shit like this game, while sony fans are getting brand new ips, Even if i think
beyond 2 souls is over rated crap. to be honest sony does have a hell of a lot of exclusives, but most are over rated. they are average games hyped up as AAA games when truth be told out of Sony entire catalog they only have about 2 or 3 AAA games. but hey at least they try to give each and every fan what they want, while Microsoft keeps giving its fans a big fuck you. if any one thinks I'm some Sony fan boy check my history and you will see I am defiantly die hard Microsoft, but facts are facts, but unlike Sony fan boys I will admit when Microsoft has done something wrong. no matter what Sony does wrong their fan boys never rant about it its like Sony has them brain washed or something.
those ps3 exclusives are overrated crap because you say soo ??!!
and you want ps3 owners who love those exclusives to agree with you or else they are fanboys ??!!
ok then what ever help you sleep the night
People are excited about this revelation? How delightfully boring and uninteresting.
Oooh boy how silly of me to b happy cuz we are getting the exclusive ni no kuni only on ps3 lol
bryam 1982 - Since most of your previous posts end in "only on ps3" and brag about ps3 exclusives, it's pretty clear you only came into this thread to troll..it's also pretty clear from your comments history, that you comment on most threads just to troll. Why don't you do us all a favor and go join Kotaku.. plenty of room under the bridge over there for a nice troll like you.
You, sir, are a troll...nothing more. That is all. Oh, imma take a bubble for the road too.
taking my bubbles? o nooo my weak spot you are killing me lol kid i dont give a fuk about bubbles i dont spend 24 hours comming to this n4g and do stuff to "level up" my profile i just like to check game news so do whatever u like whit those virtual bubbles lol
This might be pretty good. There's a similar poker game in HOME and that works great. I'm sure that MS will announce some AAA titles for this year later on.
"most visually stunning digital poker game on the market"
Yeh because that's what you want with a poker game
Bring back 1 vs 100. That was actually pretty neat while it lasted.
I never really understood the appeal of card games as video games. Im sure this rendishon of poker will have some neat features and appealing backgrounds, but cards just aint my thing.
Ps3 gets ni no kuni and x box gets poker,x box is truly the hardcore gamers console choice.
Ps3 gets ni no kuni and x box gets poker,x box is truly the hardcore gamers console choice.

A study has found that Plant Vogtle's emergency evacuation plan for people within 10 miles of the nuclear site is adequate. But the study says traffic control points and better highway infrastructure would improve it.
The updated analysis was filed with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and was posted on the agency's website last week.
Depending on the weather, time of day and other factors, Southern Nuclear's consultants' models found evacuations could take between 90 and 205 minutes.
The study had evacuation time estimates for people within the "emergency planning zone." It estimates the area has 3,080 permanent residents and a peak transient population of 2,915 people.
Those times make the strategy adequate and fully functional. But the consultants made three recommendations to improve times.

Jesu @ GRV Edinburgh Cocoon Weekender
Melvins Fiend
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 12:44 pm
Hello all. Haven't posted here in ages and found this thread so thought I'd post my review and photos from Ministry's Prongs site.......by the way you'll have to forgive me as I'm 100% familiar with Godflesh's songs/albums etc but not 100% familiar with Jesu's songs so from what I've read so far I may have got Heart Ache mixed up with Friends Are Evil and also Old Year with Silver?????? I'll post a few other reviews in the reviews section of the shows I've been to over the last year such as Ministry, Adrian Sherwood and Saul Williams if anyone's interested..........
Well as promised Toot comes with his Jesu Chronicles thread. As usual with the next day after a gig I'm hang-over to the fucking EXTREME!!!! But I shall do my best.
It was a great start to the day actually....I invited a fews pals around and made a big fry up for lunch and showed them the directers cut of Watchmen on Blu-ray as they'd not seen the film. This is the third time I've watched the film and I must say it's a fucking supreme Blu-ray with mad surround sound business!
After the film we got some kick-ass fish'n'chips for dinner. After that I began my horrific drinking binge which has resulted in this fucking horrible hang-over.....GOD I feel sooooooooo alive![cool]
Anyway we got to the venue GRV just before Cut Hands did his set. GRV is a tiny nightclub here in Edinburgh and sadly this event was not that busy with probably 100 people all up...........which for a band like Jesu is a real shame I thought. Oh well......such is life.
Below was the line-up for the evening and times.....
Doors 17:00
17:30 - Of Spire & Throne
18:15 - Project Serendipity
19:00 - Wraiths
19:40 - Human Greed
20:25 - Cut Hands
21:00 - Jesu
22:30 - 03:00 DJs
OK so this guy Cut Hands comes on. Apparently this is the guy from Whitehouse. I've never really heard Whitehouse let alone Cut Hands so wasn't sure what I was going to get. I actually thought it'd be a band, but it was just the one guy with his laptop. Anyway his music was loud as fuck! It was a combination of mean fucking beats and bass, brutal bad-ass Afro-Cuban percussive rhythms with whitenoise thrown into the mix here and there. I actually thought it's was quite fucking awesome although I wasn't really a fan of the deafening whitenoise he threw into the mix to scare the pants off everyone! I imagine Peligro would like this stuff very much? Below is Cut Hands.....(by the way....I watched Cut Hands standing next to Justin Broadrick....fuck I rule!)
Next up was the mighty Jesu. I did the rounds and talked to alot of folk and was surprised to discover most of them had no idea who Broadrick was. I was EXTREMELY dissapointed to note that there was not one Godflesh shirt! The horror of it!!! There was one Jesu shirt though. Also I was a bit crushed to find there was no Jesu merch for sale. Anyway tonights incarnation of Jesu was Justin, his laptop and a bass player who I didn't recognise. Jesu had a tough evening as whoever the guy was on the pa did a pretty poor job for the most part. Basically Justin and his bass player couldn't hear their monitors and also Justin's vocals were drowned out in the mix alot. Regardless Jesu fucking rocked BIG time and sounded great, so credit to them.
Right let's get down to business.....Jesu pumped out 5 songs.....which took an hour and a half! hahahahaha!
Jesu started with a fucking awesome song which I've not heard before so it's obviously fresh off the press. It started off with a really fucking quick and urgent sounding Hip Hop beat with a really crisp cutting hi-hat. After about a minute of this awesome rhythm the Jesu guitars came crashing down with pure crushing beauty. I laughed as my friend who's never heard Jesu turned to me and said "are those guitars supposed to sound like that?!" hahahahaha!!! During this song you virtually couldn't hear Broadrick's vocals.....but that didn't matter as the music was great!
Next up was everyone's favourite "Conqueror". This was fucking majestic and the crowd gave a big cheer when that intro came in. I just absolutely fucking ADORE that soaring riff in this amazing song. We could hear Justin's vocal a bit better during this song.
Next we had "Old Year"???. Again there were probs with the vocal and Justin wasn't happy.....he wasn't angry though as he's just too much of a nice guy so the pa guy was lucky! Regardless this was another beast music and sound wise.
Song 4 was a real surprise......."Heart Ache"?????. This was pure fucking magic and heavy as hell. I really wasn't expecting to hear one of the Heart Ache songs so was chuffed.
After "Heart Ache" Justin said "right we've got one more song..........but it's over 20 mins!". At this I yelled out "RUINED!!".....Justin had a chuckle and replied "it's NOT Ruined". Considering we got "Heart Ache" I couldn't complain!
Anyway the last song was another one I hadn't heard. It may've been from the recent Jesu release? Whatever it was it fucking kicked some MAJOR ass and was easily the filthiest riff moment of the evening. The riff sounded like a mean as fuck Godflesh throwback. I was going bananas over this one. It also had a tumbling drum sample here and there that sounded like vintage Flesh too!
The set finished and Justin apologised profusely to the crowd about the probs in his soft shy voice. He didn't have to apologise though as everyone fucking loved the set! (well I did anyway![cool])
Sadly I failed to bag a photo with Justin as I pussied out.....I did however shake his hand and kiss his ass by saying how much I loved Godflesh/Jesu/Ice/Techno Animal etc......he was like "WOW you must be old!".
Behold......the mighty Jesu.
After Jesu we all had to go upstairs to the after party where we had a surprise waiting for us......A STRIP TEASE! I'm sure Justin was blushing.
After the strip tease these drunk Irish guys did their own strip tease which was AWESOME! Actually before the gig I had a spare ticket and met these guys out the front. One of them was low on cash and wasn't going so was seeing his trusty pals off........I flung him the spare ticket and made his evening so that was cool. As a mark of respect they allowed me to document their excellent show piece.....
I fucking LOVE this next shot. It's everything that's great about rock'n'roll and the Irish.......
The DJ was playing on a really crappy sound system and the music was all droney and not my cuppa tea so I headed off to my beloved Messenger Sound System club night @ The Bongo Club which is unadulterated Dub Reggae on a fucking killer sound system......behold one of the stacks.........(the girls have ears of steel!)
Stevie gettin Dubwise wit it!
And Edinburgh getting down wit it!
After Messenger packed up I headed home and finished the evening off with a dram of Bowmore Islay single malt whisky then hit the hay to reach my amazingly fucked up hang-over today! hahahahaha......obviously it was well worth it as it's not every day I get to see a Justin Broadrick set.
I actually attempted to do this post earlier today but wiped the post when I was nearly at the end. Brought a tear to my eye so I hit the hay for a wee nap to tame the hang-over a bit.
I'm now watching trash tv and will run along as Scooby Doo the movie is on and as you all know......it's ESSENTIAL viewing.
All the best people.

Dragons are legendary creatures being featured in myths of several countries like China and Japan. As you watch movies, you'll notice that dragons usually breathe fire. That is why these creatures truly symbolize fierce and power. However, some people have adapted dragons as part of their tradition. But then, instead of believing in their tradition, images of dragons have been popular for many tattoo artists since then. Try to visit kiosks and beaches and you'll find various dragon tattoo designs that might persuade you to get inked.
Dragon tattoos are common to men. These designs truly fit on their taste. In some cases, they prepared to get inked simply because they want to add appeal to their body. However, for a person who's not fond of dragons, you may find it weird. Who don't want dragons? Well, in fact almost individuals of different ages are fond of dragoon tattoo designs, even teens and children.
In some countries, dragons represent destruction, freedom and luck. But then, it doesn't matter what's the meaning of dragon. As the head of the family, getting inked with dragon images only means one thing and that is for "protection" everyone loves dragon and everyone also love tribal designs that add appeals when combined. Sometimes, people not just get inked dragon tattoos on their body. Oftentimes, they give meaning to it.
It's true that dragon symbolizes protections yet in some civilizations, this mythical animal also represents dishonesty and wiliness. According to myths, dragons have various types and these include Korean dragons, Chinese dragons, Japanese dragons are western dragons. You may think they're classified based from the country that they were originated from yet all of them have different virtue like humans.
Dragon tattoo designs are not just for men for also for women. If men get inked because they want to look brave, women also get tattooed and become hot. As you wish, you can decide in what part of the body you want to have a dragon tattoo. Usually tattoos are placed in the shoulder. It's because this part is used by both men and women. But then it is always recommended to ask advices to the artist.
Getting excellent dragon tattoo designs is actually easy. A simple one can do. Having a colorful design sounds good yet the too much blends of colors might no longer as perfect as you wanted.
Tattoos are great options to express one's fashion. And would you believe that your personality depends on how you choose dragon tattoo designs? Believe it or not, these designs are not equal. Regardless of size, they're made up of several shapes and styles that can give life to the dragon figure.

The Ministry of Labor has said it prefers the idea of using policy instruments to encourage companies to improve salaries and it has called on people not to focus too much on the minimum wage. Workers may think differently.
Consider real salary levels. According to the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics, the monthly average regular earnings figure stood at NT$36,710, while the average monthly income was NT$45,965 last year for the more than 7 million workers employed in the industrial and service sectors.
The first thing to note is that salaries, in real terms — after inflation has been taken into account — have fallen to levels of 15 years ago, because any increase in salaries since that time actually falls short of the increase in the price of goods.
The second point is that the difference between the two figures — just shy of NT$10,000 — shows that employers are supplementing their workers' salaries with non-regular earnings, thereby decreasing their costs in labor insurance and pension contributions that they are required to pay.
Now look at salaries for the close to 3.5 million workers who earn less than NT$30,000 a month. Their "non-regular" earnings — their salary minus the minimum wage — account for as much as one-third of their total monthly take-home pay. That is, the reason the monthly salary of these workers falls between NT$22,000 and NT$25,000 is because employers have purposefully calculated it at the minimum wage level and then added non-regular earnings, such as perfect attendance bonuses or overtime pay.
The ministry defines the minimum wage as the guaranteed minimum workers are paid, to protect marginal workers, but this does not reflect the truth of the matter because these 3.5 million workers are not marginal workers; they are the majority of the low-income service sector workers.
Premier Jiang Yi-huah (江宜樺) believes the solution to the decline in salaries lies in the government's push to participate in regional economic integrations such as the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), and to encourage industrial innovation and R&D.
However, the reality of the situation is that the impressive GDP figures of the past few years — driven by companies' overall profits — show that it is within these firms' power to distribute some of the surplus and increase salary levels, but over that same time period workers salaries have continued to fall. This has also meant that the debate over the minimum wage rages. Frankly, the ministry's promise to prioritize for government contracts companies that say they will improve salaries is insufficient.
The Taipei City Government is leading by raising its minimum pay to NT$22,639, an hourly wage of NT$133. This is something that workers' groups have long been urging. Given this, is the minimum wage review committee still going to insist that the wage is adjusted only when the consumer price index hits 3 percent?
The ministry does not have very many policy instruments to play with. The minimum wage review system is unlikely to constitute a viable policy instrument by itself. That the committee plays an advisory role and has no legal status notwithstanding, its existence is in doubt, thanks to the Chinese National Federation of Industries and the General Chamber of Commerce of the Republic of China.

I can't keep it in any longer. I must be the worst mother ever. It doesn't matter that my not-yet-3-year old son adores me. Or that he climbs in bed with my husband and I and tells us we make the best team (then asks for high-fives). Or tells me he loves me more than cars. CARS! None of that matters.
Two things I have read today make me believe that despite all of these things, I must be a terrible mother. First, I read a blog post about breastfeeding. Or, rather about not breastfeeding. The author shared her honest feelings around the disappointment – and subsequent judgment – around not being able to breastfeed. The point was that mothers should leave other mothers alone – breastfeeding or not. Funny, though, all of the comments from women who felt judged about not breastfeeding came from a place of not being able to breastfeed. I didn't see one from a woman who CHOSE not to breastfeed, like I did. It's hard as a new mother to not feel at least a little judgment with every decision you make – even if it's self-inflicted judgment. But, I am increasingly finding that mothers like me – those who choose to bottle feed for one reason or another – don't exist in public forums. They sit back, try to stay unnoticed and feed their babies the best way they know how. Some choose the expensive organic formula. Some pay for soy-based. Some do extensive research to understand which product is best for their babies. But the thing that connects all of these women is that they love their babies just as much as breastfeeding women do. I love my son no less than the next woman. I firmly believe – and would argue til I died – that in the way I know how, I have given my son the best chances for a life full of love, happiness and health. But it's hard to find people like me out there. At least those who admit it.
The second thing I saw was on Facebook. This kind of thing usually doesn't affect me the way it did today. Maybe it's because I'm more sensitive, or because my stepdaughter is visiting and that always has my emotions doing somersaults. Either way, it hit me. An old acquaintance just went back to work and posted that she's missing her babies more than ever. But that's not it – it's what she said next that hit me: "I know every working mom would rather be at home with their babies all the time." I dropped everything and started this post. I couldn't help it. My brain is screaming. You ARE a good mom. You ARE a good mom. But, am I? Really? My response to that post was not: "Sister…you are so right! I would so much rather be at home with a screaming toddler, playing with cars and arguing about naptime Every. SINGLE. DAY." Rather, instead my response: "That's BS! While I LOVE my baby, I also LOVE my job. And the people I work with. And the opportunity to be ME. And the socialization. And that I contribute something financially to my family. I love having both. I NEED to have both."
I get the sense that a lot of mothers will read my response and gasp. GASP. HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT!?! How could you say you love your job AND your baby? How could you not want to spend every single waking moment with your child? The answer for me is simple. Being me – the me who loves my job and my husband and my son and my friends and my time alone – makes me the very best mother I can be. Whether or not that mother meets standards set by others is something I can no longer judge myself against. I wish I could say that feeling follows me everywhere, every day. But, it obviously doesn't. Rather than reading that post and saying: "There are mothers of every color, and I happen to a bright pink" I took it as a jab. A knife turning in the heart that is still trying to heal from post-partum. So, I'm not perfect. I do let some things get to me. But after the initial crazy self-judgment and guilt wear off, I once again see that I'm not such a bad mom. My son is an incredible human being. And, at the end of each day, I have to believe that I have something to do with that.
Kristin Parran is a mother of one (nearly 3-year old) boy and wife to a husband who anchors her in peace. Wise enough to know life can (and should) have balance, brave enough to listen to her gut – but not always smart or Zen enough to stop sweating the small stuff – she recently moved her family 1,100 miles to give everyone the best shot at equilibrium. She spends her days working from home for a tech PR firm and shedding tears of gratitude for newfound peace – which is soon interrupted by the impatience of reality. Each time she leaves her house, she secretly hopes to be discovered by Keith Urban, Brad Paisley or Dierks Bentley as a (silent, yet energetic) back-up singer. Or, to someday see her name on the cover of a book.

Nina Van Loon had a career-day at the Laupheim Junior Epee World Cup, advancing to the quarterfinals for the first time in her career and claiming a bronze medal. Click here for thoughts she recently shared on competing internationally (Photo: Gil Talbot).
Laupheim, Germany – Nina van Loon of the Harvard women's fencing team picked up a bronze medal at the Laupheim Junior Epee World Cup in Laupheim, Germany Saturday evening. The Harvard freshman joined Princeton sophomore Kat Holmes on the podium as the Ivy League duo tied for third.
Van Loon posted a 5-1 record in her pools to earn a ninth-seed and bye into the table of 64, where she led Francoise Herren of Switzerland by one touch, 14-13, as time ticked down in the second period. Herron evened the score at 14 with four seconds left in the stanza, but van Loon put Herren away with two quick touches in the third period.
In the table of 32, van Loon found herself in an early hole, down 7-4 to Germany's Julia Morawietz. The Boulder, Colo., native stormed back with six consecutive touches to take a 10-7 lead and went on to win 15-12 to advance to the quarterfinals for the first time in her career.
Van Loon topped Phillippine Tachot of France, 15-4, and advanced to the medal rounds. She finished the day with a bronze medal after falling to 2012 Junior World medalist Katrina Lehis, a fencer from Estonia.
Team USA earned four of the top eight finishes, with van Loon and Holmes pacing the Americans with a pair of bronze medals.
Van Loon will compete with the Harvard women's fencing team in the St. John's Invitational Jan. 26 in Queens, N.Y.

AMD Slips Despite Q2 Beat, Higher Q3 Rev View
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Shares of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) are down 16 cents, or 3.5%, at $4.48, giving up earlier after-hours gains despite this afternoon reportingQ2 revenue and earnings per share that topped consensus expectations, and projecting revenue this quarter comfortably ahead of consensus.
Revenue in the three months ended in June fell 18% from a year earlier, and rose 7% from Q1's level, to $1.16 billion, yielding a net loss of 9 cents a share.
Analysts had been modeling $1.11 billion and a 12-cent loss per share.
The quarter-to-quarter growth was helped by a 12% rise in sales for the "computing solutions" business, which sells microprocessors, with "significantly higher" notebook chip sales offsetting some decline in average selling prices.
Sales of graphics processing units, or GPUs, fell 5% because of lower revenue from existing computer consoles.
The company's gross profit margin, on an adjusted basis, slipped to 40% from 41% in the prior quarter and 46% in the prior-year period.
Additional details on the quarter are available in a separate CFO commentary document on the company's financial relations Web site.
For the current quarter, the company sees revenue in a range of $1.38 billion to $1.45 billion, ahead of the average estimate of analysts for $1.22 billion.
AMD shares had experienced an initial pop following the report, rising to $4.75 from the day's regular close of $4.64 before giving up those gains. Mind you, the stock was up almost 6% during the regular trading session.
AMD management will host a conference call with analysts at 5 pm, Eastern time, and you can catch the webcast of it on the company's investor relations Web site.
Update: On the call, CEO Rory Read told analysts that the company was "making progress on our three step strategy to restructure, accelerate, and ultimately transform" the company. He said the restructuring part was over and the company will focus the rest of this year on "accelerating our business." He said the company was on track to make 20% of revenue from "semi-custom" and embedded chips by the fourth quarter of this year.
Read touted some recent "application processing units," a term for a mobile microprocessor, in helping to revive its business with PC makers:
We are seeing strong adoption for our new APUs. This is particularly true of our high-volume "Kabini," which is powering a number of thin and light touch notebooks that hit the $400 price point. Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Samsung have begun to roll out products based on our latest APUs, and we expect many more systems to launch in the second half of the year.
CFO Devinder Kumar noted that graphics chips were undergoing a transition as the company moves to the next generation of game consoles, where it will be supplying the processors for Microsoft's (MSFT) Xbox One and Sony's (SNE) PlayStation 4.

Alan P. Mayer-Sommer UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
Abstract: Shortly before the beginning of the Great Depression, certified public accountants were struggling for both an acceptable definition of their role as well as professional recognition. This paper describes the environment in which CPAs worked as well as their concerns. Areas reviewed include training and entry into the field, ethical and legal standards, conduct of practice, financial rewards, pro-fessional concerns, and perceptions of the future. The purpose of the paper is to increase our appreciation of the challenges and opportunities facing CPAs in 1929.
Just before the start of the Great Depression, certified public accountants were few in number and struggling for professional recognition. This paper describes the nature of their world: train-ing and entry into the field, ethical and legal standards, conduct of practice, financial rewards and perceptions of the future. The pic-ture that emerges contributes to our appreciation of the challenges and opportunities facing CPAs fifty years ago.
College and the First Job
The accounting class of 1929 was small by today's standards. In fact, there were only about 56,000 students enrolled in accounting courses. Only about 10% of these were majoring in accounting. Many college graduates did not even consider a career in public accounting: the profession was not well known. Of those graduates who did opt for public accounting careers, most initially took jobs with private corporations.1 There were several reasons for this preference: students desired to gain some practical accounting ex-perience before going with public accounting firms, accounting em-ployees in public practice experienced seasonal layoffs that were particularly widespread among inexperienced juniors, and there was "still a great deal of prejudice among accountants against the green college graduate."2
To attract more and better graduates into the profession, the American Institute of Accountants (later to change its name to the AICPA) organized its Bureau for Placements in 1926. By 1929, more than 10,000 college students had received the Bureau's pamphlets

Agency Warns Minnesotans To Check Flood Coverage
ST. PAUL, (AP) - The state Department of Commerce is warning Minnesotans to review whether they might need flood insurance as winter heads toward spring.
The agency points out that flood damage is not covered under a standard homeowner's insurance policy. Warming temperatures along with heavy snowfall totals in February and early March make flooding a strong possibility in many parts of the state.
Flood insurance is a special policy offered through the National Flood Insurance Program. Consumers can check with their insurance agent to see if it's available through them. Flood insurance has a 30-day period after purchase before it becomes effective.
Homeowners should also be aware whether their home falls in a 100-yaer floodplain or a 500-year floodplain. However, that is not a requirement in order to purchase the insurance.

Lying on the Iranian border in the far east of Anatolia, Van is one of Turkey's poorest provinces. It has experienced dramatic social and economic change. Over the past decades, it has received major migration from people displaced by the armed conflict between the Turkish military and the terrorist PKK in Turkey's southeast, swelling its population by nearly a quarter. As a result, even in the urban areas, village lifestyles are prevalent.
Cut off from their land, many of the immigrants depend on casual or seasonal work. Van's industrial zone, set up in 1998, has only 27 active businesses; the remaining 73 plots are empty or under construction. Employment in industry in this province inhabited by more than 1 million people is less than 7,000. Per capita income is only 55€ per month. By any measure of socio-economic development in Turkey, Van ranks near the bottom of the list.
In the face of such deeply rooted poverty, large families continue to be a key mechanism for social protection and control. Households in Van average 7.4 members, with most women kept at home to look after children and the elderly and to perform domestic work. Girls marry at a very young age – around half of them between 16 and 20 – and often within the extended family.
Sixteen percent of men and nearly half the women in the province are illiterate. Although there is a university in Van only a third of the students continue from primary on to secondary school. These factors – high dependence on subsistence farming, sudden and very recent urbanisation, low incomes, large families, poor education outcomes – combine to entrench a deeply conservative society, in which traditional views of a woman's place and a man's honour prevail, among women and men alike. Violence is a feature of daily life for a large number of women in Van. In surveys, 82 percent of women are victims of violence 'often' or 'very often'. Fifty-three percent of women report violence from their husband, and 30 percent report violence from their mother-in-law. The triggering events for domestic violence can range from leaving home without permission or returning home late, to neglecting household chores or refusing marital sex.
The informal power of tribes remains strong. There are also doubts as to whether the Family Protection law applies to the couples (estimates go up to 20 percent) married only through religious ceremonies (imam nikahi), which are not recognised by the courts. WWHR found that in 1996 11 percent of women lived in polygamous relationships – officially banned since 1926. For many of these women, even the best law is simply out of their reach.
Poor coordination between state institutions and the absence of a suitable shelter were additional problems. Now a shelter is being established. The governorate has also established an inter-agency Monitoring Committee to coordinate action among institutions for protecting women subject to violence. The first Family Court opened in Van in September 2005.
These actions are in part a response to central government initiatives, following a directive issued by the prime minister in 2006 on "Precautions to be taken against violence towards children and women, and customs and honour killings". It was based on the findings of a 12-member special parliamentary commission set up in May 2005 under the leadership of AKP deputy Fatma Sahin. It calls for a broad national strategy to enhance the status of women in Turkey and combat violence, and includes a reference to the need for positive discrimination measures until equality between men and women is achieved. Ensuring that these initiatives are effective in a place like Van will require a great deal more effort.
