I have just finished reading Start-Up Nation a new book by Dan Senor and Saul Singer....thanks Saul and family (Klein).
It is a fascinating read with clear messages for anyone interesting in entrepreneurship, anyone who is fascinated by the way in which innovation can drive economic success and particularly to those of us with a profound belief that technological innovation is one of the essential planks for recovering economies.
Israel has stood out among advanced economies as a place where the crisis hit softer, and may have passed quicker, than almost anywhere else. Israel's economic growth has not been based on easy credit or a real estate boom, but on the technology-driven productivity gains that many believe is key to sustained economic growth.
All this has taken place in a tiny little country, with no natural resources - other than its people.
The authors put forward a number of theories for why it should be that Israel - a country of 7.1 million, only 60 years old, surrounded by enemies, in a constant state of war since its founding — produces more start-up companies than large, peaceful, and stable nations like Japan, China, India, Korea, Canada, and the UK. How is it that Israel has, per person, attracted over twice as much venture capital investment as the US and thirty times more than Europe?
Israel has more companies on NASDAQ than any country outside the US – more than all of Europe, India, and China combined. Nor is Israeli innovation limited to computers, security and communications; Israel leads the world in medical device patents and is a global player in cleantech and biotech.
The book explores elements of Israeli culture: the determination, persistence, the questioning and challenging of authority - which have led, in part, to this phenomenon. The intersection of scientific exploration and the military imperatives are also thoroughly analysed.
Full of interesting facts and fascinating anecdotes, Start-Up Nation sometimes reads like a pitch for investment in Israel.
For us, in the UK and the rest of Europe, there are some clear lessons. Tolerance of and active learning from failure (Israel has more failed start-ups than elsewhere, too) is something we are seeing more of in the UK. Thinking global from day one, challenging accepted modes of doing things are a couple of other aspects of the approach which we could readily adopt.
Another major ingredient of Israel's start-up culture is openness to new immigrants, who are natural risk takers. Israel is home to some 70 different nationalities, including Jewish refugees from Russia, Ethiopia, Iran, Ukraine and Poland - and the Israeli government has implemented unique policies to assimilate them. Two out of every three Israelis are newcomers or the children of immigrants.
Encouragingly for the UK, the ease with which London, in particular, absorbs and makes welcome immigrants is helping to turn it into a European centre for entrepreneurship.
One gets the sense, reading this book, that we may just be at the beginning of the start-up phenomenon. Lets hope so.

Sold Out 9'6 Epoxy Magic Model
The Magic Model is the original modern longboard, an all around performance surfboard and nose rider. The Magic Model is designed for all wave heights and all skill levels, just as fun in small surf as it is in big surf. The Magic Model hull has a unique design, so unique it has a patent. Starting at the nose the hull has a single concave that transitions into a double concave about midway through the board and ends towards the tail forming a moderate "V" for fluid rail to rail transitions.The Magic Model rails have a hard edge from nose to tail, unlike round railed boards which push through water and allow water to wrap around the board slowing it down, the Magic's hard rails glide on top the water creating a sensitivity and quickness that makes the board fast and easy to turn. What this all means...the concave at the nose adds lift and stability, perfect for nose riding. The double con-caved hull and hard rails make the board fast, stable, responsive and maneuverable in all conditions.
Dimensions: 9'6 x 23 x 3 1/8
About our X-2 Epoxy boards: X-2 Epoxy ( a.k.a molded epoxy ) is a multi-layered sandwich construction using epoxy resin, woven fiberglass and sheets of thin wood veneer wrapped around a Nanoweld EPS core. This construction method produces a light, extremely durable surfboard that is particularly strong on the deck.

1932 Ford Five-Window Coupe - The Atomic Deuce: Part 2
MSD Performance
After fitting the body and chassis together, the LS3 and 4L65E transmission were lowered in place so everything could be locked down for assembly.
Here you can see the engine mount/bracket assembly as well as the Hooker exhaust manifolds that will direct the spent fumes through a pair of MagnaFlow pipes and mufflers.
Speaking of the exhaust, the MagnaFlows may not get their chance to quiet the exhaust note if the Doug's Headers Exhaust Cutouts are activated!
Fuel will be pumped to the Atomic EFI'd LS3 from a Tanks Inc. tank that is tucked nicely at the rear of the 9-inch.
Behind the Rocket wheels there's a set of disc brakes in the front and rear. A Lokar emergency cable assembly was also employed on the '32.
With most of the external mechanical coming together, attention is going to be focused inside the cabin. The Glide seat is being fit once the ididit column, Lokar pedals, shifter, and goodies are mocked up.

Not a Hero
Roll7, the developer of the recent indie skateboarding game OlliOlli, has announced its next project. Not a Hero is a cover-based shooter that is played in a unique perspective.
Not a Hero is powered by ISO-Slant, a proprietary technology that Role7has partnered with, which lets developers display a perspective between 2D and 2.5D with minimal effort, according to Roll7. An example of this can be seen below.
The story centers on Steve, who has offered his skills with a gun to an anthropomorphic rabbit named BunnyLord who is running for mayor, and needs someone to clean up the streets. Steve needs clear five districts of crime, and will recruit new heroes has he goes.
Not a Hero release for PC, Mac, and Linux through Steam. It is also coming to next-gen consoles in Fall 2014. It can be played at Rezzed today through March 30 in Birmingham, England. Additionally, Roll7 is bringing Not a Hero to PAX East in Boston April 11-13.
It was recently revealed that Roll7's previous game OlliOlli would be coming to the PlayStation 3 and PS4. You can find our review of the Vita version here.

SBB has the scoop on the lucky teens who have won the the MusiCares and GRAMMY Foundation Teen Substance Abuse Awareness through Music Contest---their prize includes a trip to Los Angeles to attend a GRAMMY rehearsal backstage! You might remember from a recent blog that the contest is part of NIDA's National Drug Facts Week. We asked teens ages 14-18 to compose or create an original song and/or music video that "explores, encourages, and celebrates a healthy lifestyle or accurately depicts a story about drug abuse.
The three winners focused on personal experience living around drugs, and told their stories through original music and lyrics.
First prize went to the songwriting team of Daevion Caves, an 18-year-old high school junior, and Jordan Atkins, a 16-year-old sophomore, both students at Alton high School in Alton, Illinois. Their music video, "Drug Free State of Mind," shows them living daily around drug use but having the courage to stay drug-free: "We all Shootin' Stars, patiently waiting to be seen…remember what you do, you got the power to… determine your future."
Watch Video Here: "Drug Free State of Mind" by Daevion Caves and Jordan Atkins
Second place went to Markiest "Ghost" Jones, a 15-year-old 10th grader from Plantation High School in Plantation, Florida. His musical composition, "A Clearer View," is a rap song he described as a cautionary tale about what happens when you decide to take drugs: "Do better than addicted/Make love the true prescription/Hope is all you gonna need/So believe you can achieve."
Listen here: "A Clearer View" by Markeist "Ghost" Jones (MP3, 3.6MB)
Third place went to Vera Marquardt, a 17-year-old in recovery at the Phoenix House Academy in Los Angeles, California. Raised in Hawaii, Vera strums a ukulele to accompany the story of her journey that she calls "Take it to the Days." Her lyrics include these words: "Take it to the Days When I didn't have to Depend/the easy way out has slowed me down… but I lift off the ground."
Listen here: "Take it to the Days" by Vera Marquardt (MP3, 3.1MB)
The winners will be given star treatment at the 53rd GRAMMY awards. But more important, they are living proof that you can pursue your dreams without getting distracted by drugs.

Because the girl did those drugs she got into alot of trouble and she became pregnant and she was not even ready:( at the age of 16 thats really young!!! From being a daddys little angel to becoming a bad girl being with the boyfriend taking drugs really can mess your life up emotionally and when you look back to the day then your going to think that its really stupid and dumb.

Drugs as we all know can lead to some pretty bad things loss of jobs, family, sanity etc. they can also make you lose track of whatever is important. Most importantly some drugs can kill you if you over dose.
I think that we need more programs and funs directed toward keeping children ocupied so that they dont wonder off because of free time and use drugs, I myself am a DJ and surprisingly Have never been offered drugs at any of my events. [commercial link removed, per guidelines]

For you, yoga is so much more than an exercise: it's a lifestyle. Women's Beyond Yoga understands that passion, and has created an entire line of clothing and athletic gear to fit your love for all things yoga. From underwear to jackets (and everything in between) Beyond Yoga has you covered. And trust us when we say that people are taking notice.
So just what is it about women's Beyond Yoga that's caught the attention of celebrity clients and everyday ladies alike? For starters, the entire collection is designed with real women (and real bodies) in mind. Yoga aficionados know just how hard it can be to find clothes that move with them. At least, it used to be.
Today, women's Beyond Yoga is creating the kind of clothing that completely liberates your body. Imagine the freedom of hitting the mat without restrictions-without even having to think about your clothes tugging and pulling in all the wrong places. Because let's be honest- nothing gets you out of the zone faster than having to fidget with a pair of ill fitting pants or a shirt that rolls up. And, just in case you're wondering, functional doesn't mean unattractive, either. In fact, women's Beyond Yoga wear looks just as good as it feels.
Simple, beautiful, comfortable yoga wear… now that's going beyond.

Brace yourself, folks: today you about to experience something the internet has never experienced before:
Falafel-flavoured hummus! Okay, I can't be 100% certain that this has never appeared on the internet before, but my various efforts at Googling (and even Binging for god's sake (I was getting paranoid)) "falafel hummus", though turning up many hits, only loaded pages featuring falafel with hummus and the like. As far as I can tell, no one on the internet has yet thought to create and share a falafel-flavoured hummus recipe.
Which is ridiculous, first of all, because falafel and hummus are both totally delicious, and two delicious things in one is always a good idea; second of all, because falafel and hummus even come from the same cuisine, which makes my immediately preceding claim a little less ridiculous; and third and most importantly, because falafel is pretty much hummus already, really just a mere tahini scoop and olive oil splash away.
A bit of backstory: I got the idea for falafel hummus last week while I trying out Oh She Glows' recent falafel recipe. That didn't turn out so well, unfortunately (just a problem with getting the mixture to cohere, which was my fault, something with my breadcrumbs I think), but it did make me remark on how similar making falafel is to making hummus, at least at the start before you get to frying. Both dishes start from a chickpea base; falafel is just distinguished by a few extra ingredients (cilantro, parsley, and onion) and a drier texture (more crumbly than smooth). Thus I got to thinking: I could probably make a delicious and unique hummus using the very same falafel recipe I was working with, just by making a few slight modifications: namely, by removing the binders (breadcrumbs and ground flax seeds), including some hummus standards (tahini, olive oil, and water), and adding those extra falafel flavours. And I was right.
The result was easily one of the best hummuses I've ever made, and one I'm sure I'll be repeating it again very soon. The recipe follows the amounts from Oh She Glows' falafel recipe very closely, so thanks again to Angela for the inspiration. And be sure to refer to my classic hummus guide if you need some basic hummus-making pointers. Enjoy!
Falafel Hummus
(makes about 3 cups)
- 2 cups chickpeas, cooked
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- half a small red onion, chopped
- ¼ cup tightly packed fresh cilantro
- ¼ cup tightly packed fresh flat-leaf parsley
- juice and zest of one lemon
- ⅓ cup tahini
- 6 tbsp olive oil
- 6 tbsp reserved chickpea liquid or water
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp salt
- pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- the other half of your small red onion, minced (optional; see step 2 below)
- Place all ingredients except the other half of your red onion (if using) in a food processor, and whip everything together. You may not want to add in all the olive oil and reserved chickpea liquid/water from the very start; instead, add it in gradually as you pulse. If the mixture is still looking too thick after all the liquids have been added, add more reserved chickpea liquid/water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Scoop hummus out into a bowl. If using the other half of your red onion, mix this in now with a spoon. (I feel that this touch makes the mixture even more reminiscent of falafel, but this addition is only recommended if you enjoy the taste of raw onions (as I do).)
- Garnish with parsley if you're being fancy, or not if you're being lazy.
And that's all there is to it! Thanks for joining me for this little milestone of internet culinary history. Now go off and make some falafel hummus for yourself and spread the word!
Until we eat again,

Growing Number of Seniors Caring For Other Seniors
NOBLESVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Burgeoning demand for senior services like home health aides is being met by a surprising segment of the workforce: Other seniors.
Twenty-nine percent of so-called direct-care workers are projected to be 55 or older by 2018. And in some segments of that population, older workers are the single largest age demographic.
Though the jobs are among the fastest-growing in the U.S., they may seem a curious choice for older workers for their physical demands, low pay and high rates of injury.
But with high rates of turnover, home care agencies have shown a willingness to hire older people new to the field who have found a tough job market as they try to supplement their retirement income.

WTF is up with the 2009 Acura TL?
I love my 2007 Acura TL. In my opinion, it's the perfect mix of luxury and sportiness for the price. I love the way the engine growls when I step on the gas, and I love the way the body looks. For this reason, I was pretty excited to see what Honda would come up with for the 2009 Acura TL. When the 2009 TSX came out, I was even more excited because it looks pretty awesome and I was sure that Honda wouldn't disappoint with the TL.
Yeah. Seriously… WTF?! I don't mind the grille. They seem to have borrowed that from the MDX, and the TSX has a similar one. It's not bad at all – it's pretty streamlined and aggressive-looking. But seriously, what the hell is up with that curve on top of the front-wheel. Seriously?! It totally breaks the streamlined look when you look at it from the side… it just looks bad! So yeah, I was a little disappointed, but I thought that the weird curve was something I could get used to. So then I tried to see what the rear looked like. The rear on the current generation of Acura TL is very nice. It's imposing and it kinda raises up the rear of the car giving the entire vehicle a pointed, streamlined look. So what did they come up with for the rear of the 2009 Acura TL?
What the hell, guys?! You kinda just took the rear of the 2008 Honda Accord and the 2007 Civic Coupe and squished them together to form a horrible ugly mess! I thought the rear of the 2007 Civic Coupe looks pretty nice. Even though the tail-lights were small, they were balanced out by the larger trunk door. I didn't really like the rear of the 2008 Accord because the rear lights looked way too small. Honda seems to have taken the worst of both ideas to create the rear of the 2009 Acura TL. It has small tail-lights and a small trunk door. It's just ugly.
So yeah, I'm pretty disappointed. I hope in newer versions they will redesign the rear exterior (like how Honda does with the Accords and Civics), but I doubt that's going to happen seeing as how they barely made any changes to the current generation from year to year. All in all, I don't like the 2009 Acura TL, and I think they could have done a way better job. Guess I'll have to wait till 2015 to see what they come up with next.

Cory is an herbalist, mother of two wonderful girls, homeschooler, organic gardener and soap maker from Central Florida. She has been making herbal medicines for 10 years. Visit her Poppy Swap store, Aquarian Bath, for gentle, handmade artisan soaps. Here, she introduces three of her favorite plants for stress relief and simple ways to grow and prepare them into home remedies.
We all seek more peace and tranquility in life. Growing a few herbs is a fabulous way to help with relaxation and stress reduction. Plus, planting herbs is a fun activity. Learn how to select herbs that will actually help you relax!
To make sure it is a stress-free experience, each herb has unique properties that also make them useful for relieving stress and anxiety. I have chosen three herbs that I find easy to grow, and they are holy basil, motherwort and skullcap.
Holy Basil
Medicinal Uses of Holy Basil: Holy basil, also known as Tulsi, is native to India where it is a sacred temple herb. Ayurvedic teachers recommend eating two leaves a day to benefit one's physical body and spirit. The leaves and flower are considered to be adaptogenic, which means they can help the body resist all types of physical stress. Holy basil is also antimicrobial, so while it helps strengthen the body, it simultaneously fighting pathogens that makes it really unique. This herb can help people cope with pressure from heavy workloads, so I like to use holy basil for reducing chronic stress.
There are three main types of holy basil. The first two are varieties of Ocimum tenuiflorum, or O. sanctum. Rama Tulsi has green leaves. Krishna tulsi has purple leaves. A third variety is Vana tulsi (O. gratissimum). Holy basil leaves can be made into tea or tincture.
Tips on Growing Holy Basil: Holy basil is easy to cultivate from seed in the spring. After it has six leaves, you can start pinching back the top leaves to help it grow bushy. Harvest leaves and flowers often throughout the summer.
Medicinal Uses of Motherwort: Leonurus cardiaca is an important herb to help regulate women's menstrual cycles. It can help reduce irritability and anxiety associated during PMS and other times. Motherwort is a very bitter herb and it is easiest to take in tincture form.
*Note: Motherwort should not be used during pregnancy.
Tips on Growing Motherwort: Motherwort is also an annual that is fairly easy to grow. Motherwort needs partial shade. In hot climates such as Central Florida, it needs to be grown as a winter annual. Harvest the leaves and flowers when the plant is in full bloom.
Medicinal Uses of Skullcap: Scutellaria lateriflora is especially helpful for relieving neck and shoulder tension brought on by mental or emotional stress. I love skullcap because it helps me remember to breathe deeply. It is very difficult to keep the neck and shoulder muscles tight when the lungs are filling fully with air. Some people find that skullcap can also help reduce mild stress induced insomnia.
Tips on Growing Skullcap: I grow skullcap in a dedicated pot from seeds sprinkled over loose soil. You can also get it started easily from divisions. I collect the flowering stalks while they are in bloom and tincture, leaving some go to seed for next year's harvest.
Simple Tincture-Making Method: Tinctures are a nice way to take herbs for acute stress, because they are fast acting and contain more of the active medicinal components as compared to a tea. The easiest way to make a tincture is to chop the fresh herbs, pack them loosely in a jar and cover the herbs completely with 100 proof vodka. Seal the jar with with a non-metallic lid, label it with the plant name, plant part and date. If your jar is not full, you can add more leaves and vodka to your jar as the growing season progresses. Shake the jar often over six weeks, then strain out the herbs, bottle and label the extract. Use about 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon in water for an adult dosage. This tincture-making method can be used for all the herbs in your stress-relief garden.
*Please check with your health-care professional before taking any herbs.

Zimbabwe's president predicts election victory
- Mugabe turned 89 years old on Saturday
- Party officials%3A %24600K donated for birthday party
- Mugabe%3A Coalition government %27never meant to go on forever%27
BINDURA, Zimbabwe (AP) — Zimbabwe's president, celebrating his 89th birthday, said Saturday he believes he will resoundingly defeat his opponents in elections this year and remain in power for another five years.
President Robert Mugabe cut an 89-kilogram (196-pound) cake at a sports arena in this mining town of Bindura, about 90 kilometers (55 miles) northeast of Harare. Youth groups of his ZANU-PF party said they walked to the bash to celebrate his "walk through a life of struggle against colonialism and Western imperialism."
Mugabe said he was confident his ZANU-PF party will triumph at the polls and accused his rivals of claiming a recent increase in political violence was intended to cover up an upcoming election defeat under the guise that the polls would not be free and fair.
The nation's central bank governor donated 89 cows to Mugabe.
Mugabe said he was moved by the gifts and all the "giving hearts" of his supporters.
"The love that comes from the heart is far more valuable than the presents," he said.
The local provincial governor Martin Dinha promised that free food at the venue for an estimated 20,000 people was plentiful and later in the evening there was to be "entertainment galore."
Officials of Mugabe's party reportedly collected donations of $600,000 for the occasion. As about 1.5 million Zimbabweans across the nation rely on food aid in the troubled economy, a diamond mining firm linked to Mugabe's loyalist police and military who control the eastern diamond fields helped pay for the two-meter (six-foot) long cake, the biggest of five lavish cakes on display.
Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, in a shaky coalition with Mugabe brokered by regional leaders after violent and disputed elections in 2008, was in central Zimbabwe on Saturday launching his party's campaign for a 'Yes' vote in a referendum on a new constitution on March 16. Parliamentary and presidential elections to end the coalition that are scheduled later, possibly around July.
The death of the 12-year-old son of an aspiring Tsvangirai election candidate in an alleged arson attack last Saturday was publicized with photographs of the charred corpse by Tsvangirai's party to attract international news headlines, Mugabe said.
He said police investigations into the death were still to be concluded. But police said Friday foul play was not suspected in the fire in a rural eastern stronghold of Mugabe's party.
In a nationwide birthday broadcast on state television late Friday, Mugabe said the coalition had become dysfunctional and was "never meant to go on forever."
He said Tsvangirai's former opposition wanted to cling to the financial privileges and power that belonging to the coalition gave them.
"They want to enjoy the ride to the maximum, they have never had it before and they know they will never have it again," he said. "They are building a false picture of violence which we do not know anything about."
Mugabe militants and loyalist security services are blamed for human rights abuses and vote rigging in previous elections over the past decade.
Human rights and civic groups say they have been the target of a worsening clampdown by police this year. In February, four groups were raided and had documents and equipment seized. On Friday, police seized 180 cheap, hand-cranked and solar powered radio receivers from a media freedom group in the second city of Bulawayo.
Police have banned the radios, saying they are capable of receiving what they call pirate stations beamed from outside the country that are not controlled by Mugabe's state broadcasting monopoly.
The Center for Community Development, an independent pro-democracy and education charity, said Saturday the clampdown was intended at cowing civic groups campaigning for free and fair polling.
"These trends are consistent with a venal and authoritarian state that has no regard whatsoever for people's rights and freedoms," the group said.

ABC President Paul Lee Speaks About Dancing With The Stars At TV Critics Press Tour
The TV Critics Association Press Tour is taking place this week – today is Disney/ABC day. ABC President PauL Lee answered questions on Dancing With The Stars. Here's what we've gathered at twitter….
1. Speaking on the All Stars, Lee said, "It turns out that people want to see bad dancing as much as they do good dancing."" ( via TV Critic Chuck Barney)
2. At this time, ABC still plans on Spring and Fall airings of Dancing With The Stars. "There's a lot of life left in the show" (via Diane Gordon and TV Guide).
When we know more, we'll be sure to update this post.
Thanks to Miss Heidi for her help!! Here she is with more…
Heidi: Can I just say "Duh"? 😀 As someone else commented on twitter, they aren't going to cut down on a show that is still scoring 16 million viewers in this day and age. No way. TV Line has a bit more of the quote:
Falling under the "lot to do" part of that statement:
* The lackluster ratings for the all-star edition ofDancing With the Stars. "Turns out people want to see bad dancing as much as they want to see good dancing," Lee deduced, later adding, "We still intend to keep it going twice a year. It's still a big, broad crowd pleaser. We think there's a lot of life left in it."

His wife delivers and then so does Jannik Hansen
Hours after witnessing birth of his twin boys, Canucks winger Jannik Hansen scores a goal and adds an assist
Vancouver Canucks' Jannick Hansen, seen here playing against the Phoenix Coyotes last month, scored a goal and added an assist just hours after witnessing birth of his twin boys.
Photograph by: JONATHAN HAYWARD , THE CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY -Jannik Hansen is going to have quite the story to tell his two young sons.
It won't have a completely happy ending, as the Canucks ended up dropping a 4-2 decision to the Calgary Flames on Sunday night. But years from now that really won't matter.
At about 5:30 Sunday morning, Hansen's wife Karen delivered twins. He likely would have missed that big moment had the Canucks' charter late Saturday night not been cancelled because of weather issues in Calgary.
The Canuck players were sent home and Hansen was in for a surprise when he walked through the door.
"Right after I get in the door the water breaks and it's off to the hospital," Hansen said after the game. "It was kind of fortunate that I was able to be there. I am extremely grateful that I was able to be there."
His new sons are named Lucas and Daniel, which has Canuck captain Henrik Sedin a little upset.
"I've been working on him for a lot of weeks and then I get the text this morning, Lucas and Daniel," Henrik said with a laugh. "That is unbelievable."
Lucas and Daniel would have been proud of their dad on Sunday night. Playing with absolutely no sleep, Hansen was perhaps the best of the Canucks. He set up Chris Higgins' breakaway goal in the first period and then scored Vancouver's other goal early in the second period.
When his wife went into labour, Hansen didn't figure he would make Sunday's game. But it was a relatively quick labour and with Karen's blessing and after having had a chance to hold his two boys, Hansen made the early Sunday afternoon flight with his teammates to Calgary.
"It's a special feeling, it's hard to describe," Hansen said. "You don't know how quick it (the labour) is going to be and if it's still going on and the flight is leaving, obviously I am not here."
His teammates were impressed with Hansen's performance in Sunday night's game.
"Jannik didn't sleep at all, had twins last night and played a hell of a game," said Alex Burrows.
BALLARD, BIEKSA OUT: Defenceman Keith Ballard appears to be back in coach Alain Vigneault's doghouse. Ballard was scratched Saturday night when fellow defenceman Kevin Bieksa returned to the lineup after missing two games with a groin injury.
And Ballard was scratched again Sunday, even when Bieksa sat out after apparently reaggravating his injury on Saturday night.
Cam Barker instead played his first game as a Canuck on Sunday night and assisted on Hansen's goal early in the second period.
"It feels good, obviously," said Barker, who was paired most of the night with Alex Edler. "It would have been better with a win, but I thought for the most part, coming in right before the game and playing last night, I think the guys battled hard."
Barker logged 15:32 of ice time and was even on the night.
There was no update available after the game from the Canucks on Bieksa as coach Alain Vigneault walked away from reporters after criticizing the officials for a bench minor he received in the third period.
On Saturday morning, Bieksa had said he wanted to be cautious about his return to the lineup.
"If I feel good enough to play (Saturday), then I should feel good enough to play back-to-back," he said after Saturday morning's skate. "That's why we kind of want to take our time with this."
The Canucks may now be wishing they had taken their time.
BACK TO BACK BOUTS: Two games and two fights for big winger Tom Sestito. One night after fighting Kings' winger Jordan Nolan, Sestito tangled with new Calgary forward Brian McGrattan in the second period on Sunday night.
Both players landed hard punches, but McGrattan seemed to have a slight edge in the tilt.
Sestito, who was claimed on waivers last week from the Philadelphia Flyers, had 6:52 of ice time Sunday night. He played on a line with Jordan Schroeder and Dale Weise and was not credited with a hit in the game.
ICE CHIPS: The Canucks were scheduled to charter home after Sunday night's game and meet the San Jose Sharks at Rogers Arena on Tuesday night. . .One night after winning just one of nine faceoffs, newly minted centre Mason Raymond went 5-3 in the circle on Sunday. . .David Booth and Alex Burrows each had five shots for the Canucks, who outshot the Flames 31-25.

It's been awhile since I've written about my guild situation.
Last we spoke, I had caught up with my old guild Conquest and joined socially until the nightmare at work got sorted out.
Since then, I went guild searching at all the usual places. Let me tell you, the market is not the same as it was at the end of Cata! My work schedule does force me to look for something very specific, but still, not a single pitch was made to me. Not one.
Then I went to WoW progress and looked at EVERY. SINGLE. GUILD. in my progression range. Ok, I lie, I looked at every single US server Alliance 25m guild in my progression range.
I found 3 guilds with compatible schedules.
Guess how many of those guilds were recruiting?
That's right: ZERO.
One even had a notice on their website that they were too full up to be accepting applications at all.
25m raiders becoming extinct, my two asscheeks.
A Decision had to be made
I really wasn't ready to give up on raiding yet and figured I had decent chances with the two guilds that were accepting "exceptional players". After a month hiatus, I was anything but exceptional, but a few farm runs could fix that easily.
Still, another idea was growing on me. I talked to some people, sent some emails, did a Mumble interview, took a shot in the dark and re-applied to Conquest as a raider.
I know, WoW blogger gossip fans are loving it. LOVING IT.
"You went back to your ex!" (Simply a reference to how I often talk about my guild relationships in romantic terms. Rein in that gossip a little bit, I've never dated a Conquest bro.)
"Don't you remember what happened last time?"
Believe me, I remember. I remember very well. I can even still work myself into a rage when I think about it enough.
But, you know what? After 2 years it's time to let go a little bit and get over stuff. I've matured, the people involved have either left or matured, and each time I've gotten together with the Conquest crew in real life (that's right, I've still being going to their meetups), I've had a blast. And seriously folks, there are worse things in life then having your feelings hurt by your WoW guild leadership.
So, how's it going?
When asked how it's going by non-guildies, I've answered with an "I don't know".
Then I wait a little bit as the other person squeals with excitement and grabs some popcorn. That's when I let the hungry gossipers down with "On a personal level, it's been awesome."
Honestly, I'm blown away by how much the guild has grown up. I can still recognize my old stomping ground: the bro feeling is strong (girls can be bros too so it's good), most of my favorite people are still there (but not all. Kaldora and Evan… I miss youuuuuuu) and many of the indescribable dynamics that make Conquest what it is haven't changed.
But the things that used to bother me? Most of them, GONE! All the annoying people had left to make their own guild (which apparently crashed and burned just recently, much to everyone's amusement), guild chat and the forums are very entertaining places, the officers, from what I can tell, are actually doing their job and I haven't heard childish language, like, at all. (While I don't get offended easily, I find childish behaviour tiring. If I wanted to be surrounded by 12 year olds, I'd be a schoolteacher.) There are also a few farming projects going on where everyone can voluntarily pitch in, which seems to be really beneficial socially.
It makes me want to log in and get involved and help out.
Raid-wise, though, it's tough to adapt to a new style, especially when I liked OE's raids so much. Since joining, I've been a diva, I've raged, I've pestered my healing lead, I've waved around the Giant Spoon… (I swear my healing lead must regret the day he promoted me to raider. Even I didn't realize I was such a handful.) Conquest's healing team's only crime, though, is not being OE's healing team. I'm just not over my romance with OE's healing team.
I have conflicting feelings too in that I'm new, but I'm not new. I'm new in that I don't know most of the team and they don't know me. Some of the raid customs have changed and, as the new person, I would normally shut up and observe for a little while. But I don't feel new. I know all the long-timers. I know the back-story to almost all the guild jokes (heck, I am the back-story to some of those jokes!). I have way more confidence than I usually do when joining a guild, which might get me into trouble. (Or it might be a good thing, I don't know. The fight strat threads were so quiet and lonely, ever since I went all Bossy Pally on our Heroic Blade Lord thread, they've come alive.)
Of Progression and Efficiency
I can't say I was taking a step back in progression because, well, after over a month of hiatus at the beginning of an expansion, a person falls far, far behind. However, I was worried about taking a step back in, I guess, progressiveness.
I'm not the healer who puts out the most hps, I'm not the fastest to assimilate mechanics (I'm not bad, but my age is showing and I've become slightly slower than the average progression player) and I have limits as to how far I'll go to be better (no arena 4 piece for me). But I work best under pressure, I raid to kill bosses, I know my class, I have no life commitments holding me back (other than my work schedule) and, in the right environment, I have military-like discipline.
At the beginning of November, the last time I raided with OE, Conquest was quite a bit behind OE in terms of progression. That made me nervous. I don't care about number of kills too much, but I crave high pressure environments, and those environments tends to go hand in hand with boss kills.
It's working out though. Right after I joined, Conquest went from 1/16H to 6/16H, and I'm hoping for 8/16H by the end of this lockout. (Last night a guildie said "have you noticed that since Rykga joined the guild, we're finally killing hard modes?". While I had absolutely nothing to do with 2 kills and very little to do with the others, the joke still totally made my night. It's this new Holy Pally passive, Heroic Aura. Makes your guildies kill hard modes.)
Anyway, the environment is more relaxed, but the level of discipline is totally acceptable.
I've also finally started, you know, playing the game. I did my first pet battle, I wrapped up the various Pandarian questlines, I did some rep grinding with useless factions. I even did a couple of quests on my mage. I have more time for me but also, I find I want to play more and just enjoy reading the banter in /g.
There's been talk in the guild of making 300 food and valor capping mandatory. (Matt even brought it to his blog.) Me, I don't mind being forced to valor cap and eat 300 food. I eat 300 food anyway: if I could produce enough 2 weeks after MoP came out, there's no reason I can't now. I try to valor cap, but when something comes up on Sat/Sun/Mon, I don't feel guilty about not reaching the bar.
If I suddenly needed to, I would, however I would expect proper payoff. If I'm putting the energy into the game that I would for a top guild then I expect my guild to progress like a top guild.
Going to Ride the Waves
I think that, so far, I'm happy.
I know and accept that the tides might change and I may decide the raids aren't for me. Or 2 years ago might replay itself as I suddenly become all OCD and start grasping at threads. But you know what? Getting hurt and failures are part of life. Nothing lasts forever and I'm ok with falls as long as the ride's worth it.

Amazing haunt, one of the few haunts I have ever seen that was ultra creepy and worth every penny. They put on an amazing show.
They live up to their name, "normal" people will be offended. You should see the disclaimer signage they have all over the entrance and printed on the back of the tickets. That was just an added selling point to me. :D
The pyrotechnic pre-show is amazing. They guys that run it are some of the coolest haunters you will ever meet. If anyone is in the area....go see this haunt. You will not be disappointed.

I haven't been in a couple of years, but these guys truly deliver on the scare factor. The set up is awesome and the actors/actresses are amazing! The pre show is a great way to get the whole experience started... as well as all the creepy things lurking around just waiting to scare the beejezuz out of you as soon as you pass through the ticket gate!

Today was a Hawaii County Police Commission meeting and among many things on the agenda was the selection of the Chair and Vice Chair of the Police Commission for 2012.
Kenneth T. Ono out of District 7 was selected as Chair and Carol R. Ignacio out of District 1 as the Vice Chair for the 2012 Commission.
I can only say what districts they currently represent because I don't know where they live or if the redistricting will affect anyone but what I did notice… is that there is still no Commissioner from District 6 (Puna, Kau, South Kona).
Hawaii County Police Chief Harry Kubojiri also gave his reports and specifically talked about the amount of openings that were in the Police County Dispatch program. He did mention that there are a lot of candidates for the job but the job of a police dispatcher is not as easy as some may think and there are certain qualities that the a dispatcher needs to be able to handle on the job.
The Commission then broke into Executive Session to consider discipline and charges against officers or employees of the Hawaii Police Department, to consider sensitive matters relating to public safety, to discuss the evaluation of the Police Chief, and to consult with Corporation Counsel on Questions and issues pertaining to the commission's powers, duties, privileges, immunities, and liabilities pursuant to HRS 92-5 (a) (2)(4))(6) and the Hawai'i County Charter Section 13-20 (b).
The public was required to sit outside during this portion of the meeting. There were nine Hawaii Police Complaints to to be heard and mine was heard toward the ending of the commission meeting.
I did the best to explain what happened to me that day.
They didn't even bother to look at the damages on my body, my hospital bills, or my iPhone
I tried to show them my camera but they really didn't seem to have any interest it and I didn't even bother to bring in my damaged clothes… however it is in my police complaint.
What really… really seemed confusing…. and almost bothersome… was it seemed like the Police Commission didn't understand the fact that filming folks in public is perfectly legal!
I got asked… why would I want to film a bar fight… why post pictures of it on the internet? I got asked basically if my blog was a job… and what I did as a Federal Worker.
I guess maybe even the Police Commission themselves don't realize that filming police doing their jobs in public places is perfectly legal… I sure hope not.
And of course the infamous one where they ask was I taking pictures of folks in their faces… Well the physical evidence and the pictures on the camera speak for themselves! That and the fact that I forgot to mention to the police commission that Prosecuting Damerville himself even said that the two civilian witnesses in the case were not very reliable witnesses!
Oh and let's not also forget those three anonymous calls that also went into the prosecutors office after this happened stating I was a sex offender…. and the PROSECUTOR HIMSELF FOUND THAT TO BE FUNNY and Showed me the other Damon Shane Tucker mug shot that these anonymous folks were talking about who is locked up in Arizona until 2062.
While the Prosecutors Office has dismissed my case "in the name of justice"… I still am dealing with the hospital bills, the physical aches, the emotional scars, the damaged iPhone and Camera as well as clothes I was wearing that fateful night.
Let's hope that the Police Commission will do it's job accurately and hopefully justice will be served.

A Saloon, an Auction House, an Undergarment Store: Business as Usual in New York City
The Lower East Side Tenement Museum's new exhibit, Shop Life, invites visitors to explore commerce in lower Manhattan through the history of a single building. The exhibit chronicles the different uses of a commercial space located at 97 Orchard Street, on the street level of the museum's historic tenement building, from 1863 to 1988. Over time, the space evolved from a beer hall to an undergarment store.
The exhibit begins in John and Caroline Schneider's restored nineteenth century German saloon, which includes such period artifacts as paintings, musical instruments, and a bar. The saloon served as an important community gathering place when the neighborhood was known as Kleindeutschland, or "Little Germany." Visitors can also explore the kitchen, stocked with meats and fruits and the private quarters of the Schneiders, who lived behind the saloon.
The museum uses newspaper clippings, photographs, video, and music to tell the stories of three businesses that followed the saloon: Israel and Goldie Lustgarten's 1900s kosher butcher store, Max Marcus's 1930s auction house, and Sidney and Frances Meda's 1970s underwear store. Video interviews with current store owners offer contemporary perspectives on entrepreneurship in the neighborhood.
Shop Life invites visitors to engage with interactive technology. Museum-goers choose "merchandise," including reproductions of historical artifacts, to scan at a long touch-screen counter. Each scanned item initiates a multimedia presentation.
In chronicling the varied uses of 97 Orchard Street, the exhibit highlights how immigrant shopkeepers creatively adapted commercial space. Shop Life also illustrates the importance of small businesses to local communities.
Shop Life is a permanent exhibit at the Lower East Side Tenement Museum in New York City.

Nate Oropollo's four sacks helped drag Delaware Valley out of the Top 25.
Lycoming athletics photo
Having played two weeks can sometimes be more confusing than having played one, when you come to think about it. That's because with some teams, we have to pretty much erase everything we thought we learned in Week 1 when it's completely contradicted the second time around.
This week, Keith McMillan and Pat Coleman talk about the conundrums posed by Delaware Valley losing to Lycoming, which lost to Brockport State, or Rowan, which beat Delaware Valley, losing to D-II Merrimack. And of course, Brockport went on to beat Buffalo State, after Buff State beat Cortland the week before. And don't even get us started on Lebanon Valley, which has a signature win against Montclair State, except that Salve Regina also beat Montclair this weekend …
In addition, Pat and Keith talk about what a great Sunday it was in Division III, and that doesn't happen very often. Plus R-Kal Truluck gets his name mentioned again. And it's been a great season for the MIAC so far, which is 13-0 as a conference, but it's also been good for the ECFC.
And of course, the big games are mentioned as well: Wesley-Salisbury, Linfield/Hardin-Simmons, St. John Fisher-Washington and Jefferson and more. All that and more in the Around the Nation podcast.

Leading the way was the UK on a staggering $32.4m (£20.1m) debut from 1,818 screens that left a trail of records in its wake. This was the biggest launch of the year-to-date and the second biggest Friday-to-Sunday debut in history behind the Harry Potter finale. It also set a new Saturday attendance record and beat the opening weekends of Casino Royal and Quantum Of Solace by 76% and 30%, respectively.
007 plundered $9.1m from 834 screens in France (39% ahead of the three-day Casino Royale debut and more than the entire five-day launch, but 15% less than Quantum); $8.6m from 1,145 in Russia (171% bigger than the opening weekend of Casino Royale and 58% ahead of Quantum); $6.1m from 651 in South Korea for 49% market share (more than three times bigger than the Casino Royale opening an 58% bigger than the three-day launch of Quantum) and $3.2m from 581 in the biggest launch of the franchise in Brazil (130% bigger than Casino Royale and 37% ahead of Quantum).
Top of the pile from the MGM launches was Norway on $2.7m from 205 (ahead of Casino Royale by 52% and Quantum by 15%), Sweden on $2.7m from 108 for the biggest launch of 2012 so far (ahead of Casino Royale by 27% although 4% less than Quantum) and Denmark on $2.6m from 179 for the biggest non-3D launch in history. Records also fell in Finland where $1.5m from 140 set the biggest launch in history excluding previews.
Skyfall grossed $3.5m on IMAX screens from 79 locations in 15 territories for a formidable $45,000 per-screen average. This was the best international non-summer/non-holiday opening in the company's history. IMAX's global box office this weekend from Skyfall, Tai Chi Hero in China, Cloud Atlas and Paranormal Activity 4 – the last two in North American only – amounts to $6m.
The Skyfall IMAX shows in the UK delivered the second best combined results for Friday, Saturday and Sunday (FSS) in IMAX history and the BFI site in London is sold out for the next nine days with the exception of a few midnight shows. The film arrives in the US on Nov 8.
In other IMAX highlights, 007 set the box office record in Kazakhstan, the best 2D FSS result in Russia, the second biggest opening weekend for an IMAX Sony release in South Korea behind The Amazing Spider-Man in 3D and a tie for the best FSS launch in France with The Dark Knight Rises.

| 11.6°C Dublin
Rene Meulensteen, Alan Curbishley and Ray Wilkins have all formally left Fulham as part of major backroom restructuring at embattled Fulham.
Speculation has been rife over the west Londoners' managerial set-up since Friday's shock announcement of Felix Magath as new first-team manager.
The announcement brought an end to Meulensteen's 75-day spell at the Craven Cottage helm, but, despite him claiming he had been "released", he remained contracted as head coach.
However, the Dutchman has now formally left Fulham alongside four other members of the coaching staff.
Former Charlton and West Ham manager Curbishley has left his role as first-team technical director, while Wilkins has vacated the post of assistant manager.
Mick Priest and Jonathan Hill have also left the Whites, while Magath has brought Tomas Oralin as first-team coach and named Werner Leuthard conditioning coach.
"I am very grateful to Rene, Alan and Ray, as well as Mick and Jonathan, for their commitment to Fulham," Fulham chairman Shahid Khan said in a statement.
"Their efforts were admirable and appreciated, and I wish them the best.
"Fellx has come to Fulham with purpose and exceptional confidence, and I know he is extremely pleased to have Tomas Oral and Werner Leuthard join him for the mission ahead.
"From today forward, the focus is singularly on winning football matches and remaining in the Barclays Premier League. The work has begun."
Magath's first game comes away at West Brom this Saturday - one of 12 matches left remaining for the bottom-placed Cottagers, who lie four points adrift of safety.

FRISCO, Texas – Jaime Castrillon's 61st-minute header was all the Colorado Rapids needed to cruise to a 2-0 win against an FC Dallas side reduced to nine men by two first-half red cards.
Castrillon got on the end of a Brian Mullan cross to head the ball past FC Dallas goalkeeper Kevin Hartman. Buoyed by their two-man advantage, the Rapids had been peppering Hartman's goal with shots before Castrillon made the breakthrough. Martin Rivero sealed the victory with a 74th-minute goal, his first in MLS.
FC Dallas was forced to play with nine men for 55 minutes thanks to red cards to Daniel Hernandez and Blas Perez – both of which came within two minutes of one another in the first half.
Hernandez was issued his first yellow card in the 25th minute for dissent. In the 34th minute, Hernandez failed to pull out of a late challenge on Rivero, sending the Argentinian to the turf and earning a second yellow and subsequent red card.
Opta Chalkboard: Colorado dominates play with two-man advantage
Just minutes later, Dallas was reduced to nine men when Perez was issued a straight red card for a reckless tackle on Rapids' defender Drew Moor.
Schellas Hyndman's team managed to make it to halftime without conceding, but that didn't last long after the break.
Colorado nearly got on the board in the 56th minute when Conor Casey and Kamani Hill both almost got on the end of a Tony Cascio cross. Casey couldn't connect on the ball just in front of goal, while Hill got a shot off that Dallas defender Zach Loyd deflected wide of goal.
The Rapids continued to pressure the nine-man Dallas squad, and in the 65th minute Hill found himself in scoring position once again, but Hartman parried his volley out for a corner kick.
Then Castrillon got the Rapids' first before Rivero sealed the victory in the 74th minute. The Argentine latched onto a cross across the 18-yard box from Mullan, took his time and teed up a low shot to the corner that beat Hartman.
Dallas' best chance came in the 32nd minute, as Perez got on the end of a Hernandez corner kick but sent his header just wide of Matt Pickens' goal.
Colorado moved to 5-4-0 (15 points) on the season while Dallas fell to 3-4-3 (12 points).
FC Dallas return to the field on Wednesday night when they host the Seattle Sounders, but will be missing both Hernandez and Perez due to suspension. The Rapids will have a week to savor their victory, as they have a bye before returning to action against D.C. United on May 16.

Starting a Business
Starting a business is a difficult decision at best. While there is no single source that outlines all required procedures, the following steps have been developed to assist you in starting your business. Many of these steps can be researched and accomplished by visiting the websites listed, rather than calling or visiting agency offices.
The following information and links to various resources are provided for your convenience only. Please note that there may be omissions or additional requirements not represented here, which does not exempt any individual or institution from complying with all applicable laws and regulations.
1. Evaluate Your Needs and Determine Your Location
The Town of Milford's Office of Community Development can assist you in determining a path to start your business, expand an existing business, or find a new location.

2. Create a Business Plan
A business plan is like a roadmap; it shows you where you are in relation to where you want to be. Whether you believe in a business plan or not, starting a business involves many ideas that need to be documented with actions taken. Many businesses fail without a business plan, and furthermore, banks require one prior to considering your loan application.
The following organizations can provide you with business plan consultations, workshops and referrals:

3. Determine a Business Name
The name you choose for your business is important. Aside from making sure that the name clearly describes your business, you need to ensure that the name is not already being used. If the name you choose is anything other than your own legal name, you are required to file a fictitious business name statement. New Businesses must be registered with the NH Secretary of State.
4. Determine the Business Legal Structure
Several legal structures exist; your choice of legal structure will affect your income taxes and personal liability. Most businesses start as a Sole Proprietorship or a Partnership and are legally the least complicated. Corporations and Limited Liability Companies must register with the Secretary of State. Contact your accountant or attorney for advice and assistance in determining the best legal structure for you and your business.
5. Check Zoning and Building Regulations
Determining zoning requirements prior to signing a lease or contract is imperative. Check with the Town to see if the type of business you plan to operate is legal in the desired location.

Contributor(s): ?? and Than Grove
Topics: Images In Essays | Search Forms
You'll notice the images working pretty well now, it just requires that you not space them immediately after each other. Let a little text wrap, even a few lines spill in between them when you line them up on the right like some of the essays have.
Also the text is set for the default width of 300px which is what all pictures in essays I assume will soon be. If you want to actually code in a larger size and msaller size class name into the markup then I could get control.
Additionally, you do not need to add extra classes on the h6 and the essay-img, I can target these with the body class for the minor temporary styles the essay images need until the MMS in on board and all the images are set at 300px width.
Now that said, there is one thing you'll need to do for Internet Explorer, and possibly other broesers I've not checked, and that is to put a unique wrapper around the whole of the essay contents and have this clear it all. IN fact you may just have to use the double wrapper all of the templates I made for the portals have. See the following wrappers from the layout style sheet:
Main wrapper for the clearing of content floats
*/ .container-wrapper { clear:both; width:100%; margin:0 0 5px !important; margin:0; padding:0;}
Single division of content
*/ .container-1col { overflow:hidden; float:left; width:99%; margin:0; padding:0;}
Try just the outer main wrapper but both would not hurt anything.
Also, I added a new style to give a little extra white space ont he left side. If you do not want this let me know.
Also, what did you do to change the side-column height on production? I was not sure if you reversed this already or not…? I never heard anything back about this.
Then the images should be okay with no extra styles or classes for essays…I'll do some further browser testing in my next life but I don't expect you needing to add any extra markup as long as you use the images carefully and let text wrap them. Otherwise, you can try to make the best use of tables in a nice xhtml way…
One other thing about the essays.... I just noticed that would be more intuitive and conventional for the users would be if the print document call came from a link on the top right of the document itself. Having this in the dropdown and in the navigation column is not natural based on my Web experience. Just add an ID tag to some text, "Print", in a P tag and I'll add an icon to it, like the envelope for email contacts.
this is not a small issue actually as we are getting into lots of essays without working this template out and I still don't even know where I can work on the template so if Than wants to pass this location onto me I'll work something up…somewhere in teh javascript....also I wonder how this is all going to change with the images coming from the MMS…?
Than, the images may also behave much better is you put the width and height on them (in that order), it's sort of required…though you can get by I forget what the impact is on other browsers and devices.
*title="image caption info"*
what should be… *alt="image caption info"*
That alt statement in the img tag may be a simple fix switching from the title since this comes from the javascript I assume. The width and height however we'll need to adddress with Andres when that time comes. All img tags must have the height and width and an alt tag as the norm. The title is fluff most people don't use at all.
first you cannot float image right and left and expect them to do that -
there are layout containers created for dividing content in columns 5050 and such, these things importantly will clear the floats - THE FOOTER is moving intot he content area in other browesers like Interet Explorer
note: you can wrap text around a floated image but don;t epect another floated image to go along like the text does.
use the containers in the templates for clearing the floats - I"m seeing the footer crawling halfway up the page in IE and I may have no other way to do this without you adding container and wrappers liek we use in the main portal templates.
lastly the essay image style is created for a 300 pixel wide image so the text is spilling out on images larget han that.
When do we convert to all images being from the MMS - then we only have 300px images
Than you have to addd the style manually to the td tag to set the width about 30px larger than the image to control the text for different width images. We've been emailing about this in recent weeks -
better yet - keep the darn captions to a reasonable length
sorry to make this sound more dire than it is - I"ll expermient for a day and see what I can do without adding the extra containers but I'm not confident on this
BTW - also, i've realized that the proper way to have several classes on one style is NOT to have them touching - so I corrected this one I just found and will go back and check one or two I"ve done it with also.
div.img-right-shadow .essay-img { clear:both; margin-bottom:10px; } #ie-root div.img-left-shadow .essay-img, #ie-root div.img-right-shadow .essay-img {padding-bottom: 8px;}
If you go to http://dev.thlib.org/, you will see a search form in the middle of the page, but if you go to the same page on stating, http://staging.thlib.org/, the search form will not be there. This is not do to a difference in the markup but to a difference in styling. All the sites contain the basic search form and search forms on other pages but on staging and development they are hidden. The search forms are all wrapped in the same div:
<div id="search-wrapper"> … </div>
On staging and production this div is hidden by a style in /global/css/thdl-temp.css with the following command:
/*------- hide search box */ div#search-wrapper { display:none; }
But this is absent from the same file on development. Taking out that line in thdl-temp.css on staging or production would result in all the search forms throughout the site appearing, which at this time (July, 2011) is not advisable. Instead to get a specific search form to appear, one should override that general instruction with an instruction on the portals unique CSS stylesheet. This is done for the page at: http://www.thlib.org/places/maps/ in the CSS file (http://www.thlib.org/places/maps/css/maps.css), the following line has been added to make the search form show:
div#search-wrapper { display: block !important; }
This will make the search form appear for any page that uses the maps.css stylesheet.

Hello, thank you in advance for taking the time to read my post; I've tried to research this issue as much as I could before posting, so I do know some information already-- but so far I haven't found anything to really help me out.
The scenario: Over the past months, I have received various emails from different email addresses, which I suspect might all be from the same one person; this person isn't a scammer, but someone who I think is posing as several different people.
I have tried to find the person's IP address by following guidelines posted on the internet on how to do this-- however, the emails are always from gmail addresses, and I have read that supposedly it's not possible to find the user's actual IP address from a gmail address. This is presumably because gmail does not include users' IP addresses in its header, but rather just the IPs of its own email servers.
I tried to conduct a little test just to see if an IP address can correctly be found from an email even if it's not gmail; I sent emails to myself from several different email accounts of my own. Those included one gmail, two yahoo, and one from my own private server. I looked up my own IP address on an IP-finder website, and then I searched for this IP address in the headers of the four test emails I had sent to myself. Only the email from my own private server contained my actual IP address. I looked up all the other IP addresses in the other headers, and they were all server addresses (ie, in locations far from where I live).
Furthermore, in all the emails I had sent to myself (all from the same originating connection, ie, all from the same IP address, at home, within the same one hour), none of the four test emails contained any of the same IP addresses at all. Meaning that if some other person was trying to impersonate a number of different people, and was just sending me emails from various addresses while sitting at home, their various emails would still look like they were sent from different people.
Needless to say, this is pretty frustrating and concerning; I thought maybe I could try to find the person's IP address via livejournal, because at one point one of these supposedly different people had contacted me on my livejournal account. I know that livejournal used to (or maybe still does) have a feature that if you post a blog entry, then you can show the IP address of commenters on your entry-- but I don't know if you can have an IP address shown in a private message sent to you.
In conclusion, what I would like is if someone could help me figure out a way to tell if these various emails/livejournal messages I've received have originated from the same IP address or not? It seems unlikely to me that someone could harass someone else simply by continuing to register additional, different gmail addresses, without even needing to hide their IP address.
Thank you!

Contemporaneous corroboration
Contemporaneous corroboration is an historical method used by historians to establish facts beyond their limited lifespan. It is used to locate, identify and examine testimony of primary source witnesses. It is similar to methods used by police and lawyers based upon Mosaic Law, "by the testimony of two witnesses a matter is established." Literally it means, "at the same time the story is told by multiple witness."
(It differs from "contiguous", or sequential events, and "consequential" or the accumulation of events).
In contemporaneous corroboration the researcher or investigator must put out of his mind any conclusions he may be aware of, so as not to color his judgement. For example, everyone knows the verdict of history as to who won World War II. Now if the investigator begins with the conclusionary premise: "How did this come about?", he is using the "reverse method", seeking out facts to support his conclusion, and perhaps overlooking evidence of enormous consequence. Under the "contemporaneous" method of investigation, the researcher is ignoring conclusions and seeking out the heart and soul of the matter that consequently led to conclusions.
The contemporaneous method seeks to "live the life" of the event, beginning at a point in time and moving forward. The reverse method, also sometimes known as "reexamining a verdict", begins with a conclusion and works backward. Historians call this a backward argument, or "arguing backwards". The danger under the reverse method is beginning with a conclusion, one often arrives at the same result.
Contemporaneous method was demonstrated and popularized several years ago with the PBS television documentary The Civil War, an achievement in that medium for using historical narrative and still photography. Instead of traditional recreations by actors and set designers, the text was carried forward by studied historians speaking in the present tense—narrating events 130 years prior. This may have sounded peculiar to the lay audience yet employed the exact terms, form and method historians use to gain the time depth perception lacking when "looking back at events" using the reverse method.
For years after the TV event, it became fashionable for cop shows, both SWG (Hollywood Screen Writers Guild) productions and Reality shows, to show "real time" investigators recreating events of homicides and discussing sequences using the contemporaneous method—in the present tense—about past events, ignoring any judgement or conclusion already obvious. And the methods' purpose is obvious, to gain a greater understanding of the contemporaneous event leading to the conclusion, not the conclusion itself.

South African President Jacob Zuma adresses Marikana miners as he visits the Nkaneng Informal Settlement on August 22 in Rustenburg, South Africa. The President visited Marikana in Rustenburg to address workers at platinum company Lonmin, following the the Marikana tragedy in which 34 striking miners were shot dead and another 78 were wounded by police last week. 10 people were also killed in the week before Thursday's shootings, including two police officers and two mine security guards. Zuma was joined by the inter-ministerial committee investigating the violence.
South African President Jacob Zuma speaks to the leadership of striking Lonmin mineworkers during his visit to Marikana near Rustenburg, South Africa, Aug. 22.
President Jacob Zuma announced an inquiry into the violence at the Lonmin mine and declared a week of national mourning. South African police confirmed 34 people were killed and 78 injured during the strike by mine workers from Lonmin Marikana mine on Aug. 16, causing a huge public outcry.
Reuters reports: At Marikana, a somber-looking President Jacob Zuma stood under a parasol held by an aide to address around 2,000 subdued miners. In the Xhosa and Zulu languages, he said there was no need for workers to die in a Labor dispute.
"I have taken a decision to set up a commission to investigate this so that we can get to the truth," Zuma said.
Memorial services will be held for the 34 South African platinum miners gunned down by police last week. The country's embattled President Jacob Zuma visited the mine, promising a full judicial enquiry while reassuring international investors that South Africa was open for business. But the price of platinum on world markets surged - as reports suggested strikes were spreading to other mines. Inigo Gilmore, Channel 4 Europe reports.

here's some screenshots of some fun creatures I created using hamburger's Cryptidia entry:
First, the program asked me to create something huggable…
Next, it commanded I draw something "you could put a beard on" and that it also need "ripped abs" .. these suggestions are hilarious.
Well.. my devil walks upon a table, a stick and something that looks like 1/3rd of an utter. I like his arms.. heh.
Anyway– I definitely enjoy these drawing type programs.. thanks hamburger!

Yeah, 3d modeled hands tend to look odd from behind, I will try rearrangeing the hand and finger position to make it more apparent as to which side it is on.
As for the rocket launcher, the sprite from the original graphics was almost entirely hand drawn, thus making a perfect re-creation all but impossible, my attempts to make a curvy one failed so badly that I just made it strait.
(Bear in mind, this was an attempt to make restyled graphics that were not neccisarily identical to the originals)
