First Clip from KICK-ASS 2 Features a Stand-Off between Kick-Ass and The Mother Fucker, Plus an All-Out Battle between Their Forces
by Dave Trumbore Posted 63 days ago
The first clip from Jeff Wadlow's Kick-Ass 2 is now online. While I'm surprised that this massive fight scene between costumed heroes and villains is the first clip we're getting, I'm not complaining! Some of our old favorites are back but there is a host of new characters on both sides of the battle. Battle Guy, Night Bitch and Doctor Gravity get in on the action and it's not just Kick-Ass and The Mother Fucker who square off. Hit-Girl takes on a big challenge when she goes up against Mother Russia by herself.
Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Clark Duke, Donald Faison, John Leguizamo, Jim Carrey and Olga Kurkulina, Kick-Ass 2 opens August 16th. Hit the jump to watch the clip. [Update: Unfortunately it looks as if this clip has been taken down. Sorry if you missed it!]

A friend of mine is in the midst of restoring one. Some parts are tough to find, but the design is timeless.
One of these has come into my orbit with a disinterested owner looking to sell. It's a 1600 and is very clean with no rust. I drove a ratty 2000 about 20 years ago and it was a hoot but I'm 20 years older now. Anyone here own one? Any experiences? What are they worth? Sorry, no pic.
A friend of mine is in the midst of restoring one. Some parts are tough to find, but the design is timeless.
In the last few weeks, the Datsun Roadsters were discussed in another TCL thread:
Bottom line: great car. Also, check out the help and forums at www.311s.org
I've seen a few of these lately from $1800 to $3600
Been really trying to contain myself. Sexy little cars!
The two liter is a lot stronger, but I don't know of any issues with the 1600. If I had a place for one it would be on my short list of mid-life crisis cars. Thems is cool!

I took a good look it the car. 1600 is still in place. It is very clean and original under the hood. Interior is pretty complete and unworn, padding in seats looks to have shrunk or given out. One dent on r/f fender which is obvious once you find it. On 260z wheels which don't really suit it, (libres or panasports would be my choice. Stock rims are also present. Bumpers are off the car but included. Seller is asking 4000$. After looking around I think they are a little optimistic but maybe not by much. Any thoughts? Car is the silver gray over black like so many if these. I'd want to change it to a light nonmetallic gray over apple green but I know my taste is odd.
A bit factor is cost/desirability is the year. The '67 and earlier seem to fetch more money and , IMO< look better with the lower windshield and flat dash.
Maybe I'm missing something but I see the design of the SPL/SRL311 as distinct from the MGB.
I think $4000 is a bit high if it's not in really good condition. I've seen very nice ones for $3600 or so in SoCal. Extremely nice ones are going for ~$6500
Beater projects are anything from $800-$1800, depending on if they run or not...
But there's always supply/demand and time/money. It may be worth another $200 to save time and get one while you can.
Maybe offer $3300/$3500 and go from there?
Same basic shape but the surfacing and detail is different. I prefer the Datsun but I suspect the B is cheaper to keep running as parts are plentiful.
Did I miss where you posted the year you're looking at? If it's after 67.5, I'd keep looking. I much prefer the low windshield cars (easily distinguishable with opposing wipers). The 68+ had a Z influence and dropped a lot of the brightwork chrome.
Think about the asking price in a global context. As stated, parts aren't always easy to find, so what parts actually come with the car and is the car running? The stainless trim that Datsun covered the car with can be expensive to find and might even take several years.
You mean, the most recent visible color is silver
I didn't check the year. I hate to waste too much of a seller's time unless I know I want to buy something. I'll see if I can't drop by this week sometime. I'm elbows deep in my Massey 135 right now and not feeling mechanically motivated to take on something new.

TORRANCE - Memorial service plans were pending today for former Daily Breeze graphics editor Jeannie Grand, who died Saturday at age 67.
Grand started working at the Daily Breeze in 1979 as a writer and layout designer. She was promoted to graphics editor in 1984 and worked there until the late 1990s. She then taught graphic design at Brooks College in Long Beach, which has since closed.
Before moving to California, she graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in English, worked as a teacher and then in the sports department at the old Miami News.
Family members said Grand had been a Jimmy Buffett fan and was "quite taken" with his song "Growing Older But Not Up" -- which "should have been her anthem." Grand also loved the character of "Uncle Fishhead," a white- coated individual with the appearance of a physician, but with the head of a fish.
Grand died after a four-month illness, according to the family's announcement. Her ashes will be taken to St. Augustine, the Florida city that was "her favorite childhood vacation spot." A memorial service was still being planned.

EAST COUNTY — As Navigant employees explained their 200-page-plus audit report to the public for the first time at a Jan. 14 workshop, Manatee County School Board members sat back in their chairs, silenced, and took in the reality of the moment.
Auditors blamed former Assistant Superintendent Jim Drake for the Manatee County School Board's 2011-12 $3.4 million budget deficit but faulted him for incompetence — not criminal or illegal activity.
Albert Robinson, of Navigant, formerly with the FBI, said former Superintendent Tim McGonegal, who resigned in September when the deficit was announced, had no knowledge of errors in budgeting until July.
But, in January 2012, McGonegal had requested Drake's retirement, due to continuous budget mistakes. Drake retired a month later. Michael Boyer, the district's chief financial officer, was brought on in May 2012, at which time he assumed oversight of the budget.
But Drake was responsible for the budget as its direct manager, investigators said.
Robinson said Drake had installed a flawed labor-intensive computing process to replace a reliable real-time method — which had been in place for 10 years — that tracked employee compensation and benefits.
The flawed process resulted in the district failing to properly budget for employee benefits, teacher salaries and recurrent programs such as Manatee Technical Institute.
It produced errors in 17 of 18 schools the auditors tested.
The report, compiled from more than 30 interviews — including ones with Drake and McGonegal — hundreds of budget entries, financial statements and emails, found a "lack of proper management support, oversight and leadership in the budget process."
After being alerted to the deficit, McGonegal and finance department staff reviewed accounting records to find errors that would eliminate and correct the deficit.
A deficit of $3.4 million was confirmed on or about Aug. 21, 2012.
Then, over two weeks, McGonegal prepared a Sept. 5 memorandum to the school board, revealing the deficit.
Charles Harris, of Trenam Kemker, the Tampa law firm that hired Navigant, said the audit found no evidence of embezzlement, nor that McGonegal had purposefully delayed letting the board know about the deficit.
Harris said the failure of McGonegal and Drake to act quickly after discovering problems was enough reason to fire them, if they hadn't resigned.
The downfall of the district's finances began when Drake enacted the failed computer system, which resulted in the original budget for employee benefits being understated by about $5.15 million and employee pay by $4.2 million.
Those two accounts equal 80% of the district's budget.
Drake admitted he failed to monitor the new system, which included a salary-projection worksheet that involved selecting the payroll for all employees during a monthly period — a snapshot — and projecting it out.
Errors included the number of teacher positions listed per school and incorrectly deducting 305 custodian jobs from the worksheet.
The other component to the new computer program, one called index allocation, was meant to track benefits. However, benefits were understated due to an error in the software code.
Drake blamed a hectic schedule, including responsibilities in the finance, food service and transportation departments, that prevented him from focusing on the duty McGonegal had assigned to him — managing the budget.
In February 2012, adjusting entries totaling $6.9 million meant to correct previous budget errors and to establish budgets for unbudgeted items — including 15 newly hired elementary-school teachers — further added to the deficit.
That mid-year budget cleanup, a routine process done annually and intended to adjust all negative balances to zero, was supposed to occur in December 2011, a time of the year when there's more flexibility to change the budget.
Typically, offsetting any deficit would come from a district's reserve account.
In prior years, Manatee Schools, instead, took money from benefits, but with the account dry, finance personnel decided to pull from the already-understated compensation budget.
If the district had taken from the reserve account, as they should have, Navigant said, the board would have noticed the dramatic adjustment. However, the board never saw the compensation budget.
More unaccounted money came from textbooks. McGonegal discovered $672,716 in unbudgeted books, after hearing from parents and teachers that high schools did not get money for books.
High schools do get money for books from the state, but schools also get a quota to purchase their own. District high schools did get half of that quota, so McGonegal's nearly $700,000 adjustment was an inaccurate amount. He had assumed the schools received nothing.
Twenty-three of 50 schools started 2012-13 with a negative balance for textbooks, because the district failed to offset the deficit the year before with reserves.
Additionally, the district failed to budget three reoccurring, predictable programs, a fact Robinson called inexcusable, including Amer-I-Can and eTech of Manatee.
MTI had its budget set up at the end of 2011-12 and was underbudgeted by $1 million.
All of it became worse as the board remained uniformed — though unintentionally.
Monthly financial statements from August 2011 to May 2012 presented to the board said expenses didn't exceed the budget.
In fact, from August 2011 to April 2012, the monthly balance sheets for the general fund reported an excess of revenue over expenses.
In early 2011, the board began receiving quarterly estimated revenue and expenditure reports. The board, however, usually saw those reports months after they were reported.
When they were reviewed, minutes of meetings showed discussion was minimal.
The slow reaction time and minimal communication all stemmed from a lack of written policies and procedures for the preparation of budgets and insufficient staff and automated systems to manage it.
The poor coordination meant teachers were hired even when staff was unsure if they had the money to pay them. It also meant staff tackling more than one job — sometimes for ones they weren't qualified.
It even resulted in, as recently as June 8, 2012, McGonegal informing district employees that he anticipated a budget surplus. At the time, he had proposed a 1% bonus for staff in 2012-13.
That fact, found through email, was enough to show investigators McGonegal hid nothing.
A man known for his hands-on approach and for his mastery of budgets had became too hands-off, Navigant found. He had given budget oversight to Drake — who admitted to Navigant budgets weren't his strength.
As the results of the report set in and Robinson offered eight recommendations to avoid a similar catastrophe in the future, Manatee School's Interim Superintendent David Gayler did not address the report directly and asked no questions about it. He said he had anticipated some of the findings and had already begun addressing Navigant's recommendations.
"I have one interest," Gayler said, his voice rising. "And that's moving the district forward."
In her closing remarks, Manatee County School Board Chairwoman Karen Carpenter said it would be a long time before the audit report would be forgotten.
"I'm encouraging you, when something goes wrong, say it," Carpenter said. "These mistakes have overshadowed every good thing in the district."

Eight recommendations Navigant offered to reduce future likelihood of undetected funds:
• A semblance of the old, real-time database should be reinstated. Manatee County Schools Interim Superintendent David Gayler said that process has begun.
• Additional staff should be added to support the budget activities of the district. Gayler says the district is in the process of reorganizing its finance department.
• Provide the board with more detailed and timely financial statements.
• Expand the use of reserves to ensure expenditures don't exceed appropriated levels. Gayler says this is under way.
• Ensure the initial annual budget includes all significant programs. Gayler says the district will install a line-item budget process.
• Duties of the Internal Audit Committee should be expanded to include analysis of textbook budgets.
• Duties of the director of finance should be evaluated to determine if budget oversight responsibilities should be expanded.
• Develop written policies and procedures. Gayler called this "a no-brainer."

- Once again the entire truth has not been brought forth. This audit was for one year 2011-2012. McGonagal and Drake have worked hand in hand on this. I personally advised Mr. McGonagal and his staff that the insurance fund was not funded. Employees were paying $50.00 towards their insurance and $75.00 for family members. I spoke with members of the Michigan Education Association and New Jersey. They said they would that very moment purchase health insurance from Manatee County for their entire state educational employees as it was impossible to run it on those premiums. They literally blew me off. They knew and they somehow still balanced their books. How? I don't know. This problem is over six years old. Also if the high schools initially received 50% of their budget on books and then received 100% why did not one single school advise downtown that they had too much money? Or is the investigation flawed and has mis-stated? Or is the culture of dishonesty so deep or so inept?
We the public were promised a certified public accounting audit. Neither firm had a CPA on payroll. We did not get what the Board promised. The question in my mind is were they really qualified to produce the report? Did they understand the way schools budget? The county received awards year after year for their fabulous accounting procedures. How?Remember they have said that McGonagle and Drake should have been fired for cause (John Bowen the attorney told the Board they had to accept McGonagle's resignation, they didn't they could have suspended him, put in the interim and denied him his benefits and $500,000 cash payout at our expense, they both should have not received the retirement package because they defrauded the public by incompetence).
The investigators stated that the benefits were calculated incorrectly. They were informed by me that the social security and medicare benefits were 5.65 and in their report they state that they were 7.65. The past two years those taxes were reduced by 2% so instead of a negative impact they should have produced a surplus. Where is that money and where did it go to?
At the end of the day there are more questions than answers.
What about the other years budgets? Will we ever know? Gayler just keeps saying you can't live in the past. The past shapes the future and if you don't know the past you will repeat it. An examination of those failings needs to be made and understood. When you have $640,000 Million Dollars and you can't account for all of it, this is problematic.

The body of Newtown, Conn., shooter Adam Lanza was claimed by his father last week, a family spokesman said Monday.
"Private arrangements took place over the weekend," Cockfield said. He declined to elaborate further about the nature of the arrangements.
Connecticut Chief State Medical Examiner H. Wayne Carver, confirmed that Lanza's body is "finally gone."
Adam Lanza, 20, killed 20 first-graders and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14 and then committed suicide. He also killed his mother in their Newtown home before the rampage.
PHOTOS: Connecticut school shooting
A private funeral was held earlier this month in New Hampshire for his mother, Nancy Lanza, who was divorced from Peter Lanza.
Authorities have not offered a motive for the killings. State police say they have been exploring all aspects of Adam Lanza's life, including his education, family history and medical treatment for clues.
"Our family is grieving along with all those who have been affected by this enormous tragedy," Peter Lanza said in a statement in the days after the shooting. "No words can truly express how heartbroken we are. We are in a state of disbelief and trying to find whatever answers we can. We too are asking why."
Peter Lanza lives in Stamford, Conn., and is an executive with GE Energy Financial Services.
Adam Lanza, who was known to be very shy, had a tight relationship with his mother but was estranged from his father after the couple's 2001 separation was finalized in a 2009 divorce.
FULL COVERAGE: Shooting at Connecticut school
Peter Lanza had seen his son weekly after the separation, according to a family acquaintance. But Adam Lanza began refusing to see him after Peter began seeing another woman whom he later married, according to Shelley Cudiner, an employee at the library at the University of Connecticut.
Adam Lanza also began refusing to see his brother, Ryan, an accountant in Manhattan, after their parents' 2009 divorce.

Silly question, but what do I call each Field on my Form?!
Questions would be things like...
1.) Why did you decide to start your own business?
2.) What advice would you share with others on what NOT to do?
3.) What advice would you share with others on what TO do?
10.) How do you compete against Corporate America?

While the warmth of Christmas cheer will be abundant, the weather outside will indeed be frightful as isolated thunderstorms are
expected to develop in the area tonight, according to the National Weather Service.
A dense and heavy fog will blanket Rome this morning until about 9 a.m. The drizzly rain should set in around noon and could carry winds up to 10 mph, the NWS advised. The high will be near 58 and rainfall amounts could be from half to three-quarters of an inch.
Christmas night will possibly come with thunderstorms, some of which could become severe. Southeast winds will kick up to 10 to 15 mph, with some gusts possibly reaching 30 mph. The low temperature will be 50 degrees.
Floyd County Emergency Management Agency Director Scotty Hancock said some isolated tornadoes are also expected, but they
should be south and west of Rome.
"From what (the National Weather Service is) telling me, the storm is slowing down and they're expecting it be a little bit south of us," he said. "The more damaging weather is moving to south of Rome," adding that there was a slight to moderate risk of tornadoes, but that will mainly affect Alabama.
"Were hoping it stays south," he said..
Here's a look at the rest of the weather for the week:
Wednesday: A chance of showers, mainly before 1 p.m. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 54. South wind 5 to 10 mph becoming west 10 to 15 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50 percent.
Wednesday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 29.
Thursday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 48.
Thursday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 27.
Friday: A 20 percent chance of showers. Mostly sunny, with a high near 54.
Friday Night: A 40 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 32.
Saturday: A 50 percent chance of showers. Cloudy, with a high near 50.
Saturday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 31.
Sunday: Sunny, with a high near 50.

My male cat,Chino, is very loving and stays in the house these hot days, but goes out at night when it is cooler. He knows what to do. I have a doggie door and he goes out when he feels like it. Sometimes it is raining and he hurries back in to me... as though I could do something about it. He only likes Salmon in a certain kind of can, and Meow Mix dry food. The one thing he does that I don't like is to jump on me about 3:00 am and bite my face and the buttons om my PJs.
Why does he do this and only to me?.
my 20 year old blue point Siamese has to be helped to stay in a cool place.He gets lost and needs to be shown where to lie down.He wants to lie in the sun on the back porch .I only let him if it is under 80 degrees.

If humans haven't tampered with animals DNA and made them dependent on us this article wouldn't even nee to be written. Animals in nature can take care of themselves and the weak ones that can't die off and the strong survive. I am so sick of people having animals as slaves but claim that they are just pets. BS

July 11 2012 at 1:09 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyThe allergy issue is a known problem for some breeds of cats. Our Flame Point (Siamese white) was allergic to wool (just like her mommy!) and she broke out in hives (or whatever cat's get), which later itched and she chewed or rubbed to sores... tender little ears can get easily get infected, so this was the first place we noticed problems. The vet thought it was mites, but we noticed, she LOVED rubbing everywhere on a wool blanket and then would proceed to have a scratching fit... we got rid of the blanket, with some salve and time, she never had the problem again... when we brought a wool blanket in again, yep, repeat issues. Trial and error is helpful... Also, be wary of some foods, check for corn additives, many of my cats have had oil issues and dandruff because of poor nutrition from and was misdiagnosed for other ailments, not allergies.

The adult cats are allowed outside when the sun is going down in a 6' vinyl fenced yard where we have a pool and landscaped area with trees and shade. We have clean cool water for them to drink. They love it and are never overheated. The kitten will not be outside until she is 1 year old. Whenever the adults hear thunder or lightening they want to be inside the house.
where's the picture?
July 10 2012 at 8:24 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI believe your flea drops are causing your problem. We previously used a cheap version of these drops that we purchased at a big box store (I won't name the name as you would be VERY familiar with it) in order to try to save money. For 2 years 3 of our cats suffered with this problem of losing hair just as your is. We had them in for several vet visits and spent tons of money on expensive medications, all for naught. We finally switched them to a veterinary sponsored flea & tick preventative that was initially more expensive. Wish we had never tried to scrimp and save money on the cheap retail store stuff. It cost us way more in vet bills and medicines than if we had simply purchased the good stuff to begin with from our vet. Now we use the product on the cats that kills fleas, ticks AND ear mites! Their hair has grown back and all the sores on their back end and legs are gone. Stop using that cheap junk and buy the good stuff from your vet, for the sake of your kitty's health. She is allergic to that nasty stuff in the cheap product. Good luck!!! V. Hurst, Dallas, TX

Uterine fibroids effect millions of women, side effects range from mild to debilitating.
"I was having a lot of pain a lot of hemorrhaging a lot of bleeding no energy," said Fibroid Embolization patient Dianne Waldorf. Her fatigue and anemia were from a uterine fibroid the size of a baseball. Doctors suggested a hysterectomy but she did her research, she was a candidate for a Fibroid Embolization.
Dr. Gary Siskin, Interventional Radiologist, said, "Embolization is a procedure where we cut off the blood supply bringing the blood to a part of the body, by going in and plugging up the blood vessels technically to kill the part of the bloody that is supplied by the blood vessels."
Fibroids are often being but cause a variety of symptoms.
"Heavy bleeding on a monthly basis or pain, bloating, urinary symptom," said Dr. Siskin.
The procedure is done in the hospital. Using x-ray guidance, a catheter like this is inserted into the artery near the groin where a thick clotting substance is injected.
Dr. Siskin said, "Once that catheter is inside that vessel we can inject which will serve to plug up the artery and not allow blood to feed the fibroids."
Once the blood flow to the artery stops, the fibroid begins to slowly die off and disappear. Waldorf said, "The procedure was very easy."
Because this substance that is clotting, is inserted into an artery and there are so many arteries in the body, some patients may wonder if the doctor got the right one.
"The good news is that it has a fairly characteristic pattern so when a woman has fibroids, the arteries change and look a certain way that makes it apparent to us that we are in the right place," said Dr. Siskin.
Dianne's fibroid is gone without having a hysterectomy and she's back to her old self.
"I lost a lot of weight. I joined the gym. I have such a quality of life, I enjoy my family," said Waldorf.

What´s up in Vienna
La siguiente hostal información se encuentra disponible únicamente en Inglés
BIGGER THAN LIFE: A Hundred Years of Hollywood—A Jewish Experience / 23.10.2011
19.10.2011 - 15.04.2012 - Palais Eskeles
BIGGER THAN LIFE is an exhibition about one of the most important cultural developments of the twentieth century. It takes visitors behind the scenes and clichés of the myth machine: from eastern Europe to the West Coast, from the Hollywood founders' synagogues to their country club, from silent movies to talking pictures and New Hollywood, from covert Jewish identity to the Jewish "coming out" of Woody Allen or Barbra Streisand.
It features excerpts from major films, huge hitherto unseen American film posters and interestingoriginal artifacts from Europe, New York, and Los Angeles—from a silver cigar box belonging to the chain-smoking founder of Paramount Adolph Zukor and a chair from Rick's Café in Casablanca to costume and set designs for Gone With The Wind.
A Harley Davidson like the one ridden by Peter Fonda in Easy Rider symbolizes New Hollywood, while the baseball bat belonging to "Bear Jew", a Jewish weapon from Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, illustrates the constant change that the Jewish identity has undergone in Hollywood's films.

In a recent Mail Call, an anonymous reader asked: "I'd like to donate my body to science. Could someone tell me who to get in touch with about this?"
The Anatomy Board of Maryland is one possibility.
The board's website says donors can get a form by calling 410-547-1222 or 1-800-879-2728 or writing to State Anatomy Board, Bressler Research Building, Room B-026, 655 W. Baltimore St., Baltimore, MD 21201-1559.
Anyone at least 18 years old is eligible.
After a donor dies, a nursing home, hospital or attending doctor will contact the Anatomy Board, which will arrange to collect the body.
"The body will be used to support research and educational study programs at medical institutions. The Anatomy Board serves medical and dental schools, resident teaching programs, and other related health, education, and research study programs," the board's website says.
After a medical program uses the body, it will be returned to the Anatomy Board and cremated. The ashes will be interred at a dedicated grave site in Sykesville, Md.
Bob Bloyer of Hagerstown pointed out on Monday that ashes also can be returned to the donor's family, if requested.
He and his wife, Ruth, both signed up to donate their bodies. After Ruth died and her body was used for research and cremated, he had her ashes buried at a local cemetery, he said.
Another option is the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md., which describes itself as "the Nation's federal health sciences university ... committed to excellence in military medicine and public health during peace and war."
"The majority of the bodies which come to the School of Medicine will be used for teaching anatomy," the USUHS website says. "Other bodies are used by physicians to review anatomy in connection with special training for surgery. A few bodies are used by physicians in research aimed at the solution of problems or the development of new medical or surgical procedures.
USUHS can be reached at 301-295-3301 (weekdays, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.) or 301-295-3333 (emergency/imminent donations, 24 hours a day).
The body must be intact. It isn't eligible if there has been an autopsy.

I'm trying to do inline captions, because I don't want an animation after each photo in my gallery loads -- but there's no inline "if available" option. Can one be added? Even replacing the captions with spaces doesn't work.
(Honestly, I can't imagine a use case where "no caption" would ever be desirable. It seems weird to make it a default.)
Similarly, I'm building some galleries that have a Gallery Title but no Gallery Description. But there's still empty space where the Description would go, which is messing up my layout a bit. It'd be nice to have a switch to turn the display of these fields on or off.
Yep, another vote to remove the "No Caption" text. There is no need for it.
Please remove it. It is really not needed when you have a title only.
I totally agree. It's about the only thing I don't like about the product. Both "No title" and "No caption" are totally useless and should not display at all. I don't even mind if it still takes up the space, as long as it would just display blanks instead of this useless text. Some photos don't need a caption!
I was going to post a thread like this. There's a kind of Occam's Razor/Hippocratic Oath aspect to the "No Caption" thing: programmer's should seek the simplest approach, and the one that does no harm.
"No Caption" makes sense to a programmer (very late at night) but has bad consequences for end-users.
That said, a big shout-out to Mr. Domney: SSP is new to me and I'm enjoying it thoroughly. A very nice addition to Lightroom! Thank you!
+10 this has been a recognized issue for MONTHS. Does anyone in the development side ever read this forum?
Any updates on this "bug"? Would love to get rid of that text.
Sorry I didn't see this thread (and it's old now). For anyone searching and coming across this thread, you can change the text. Check out these links:
I'm having a problem with the "No Caption" text showing up in the Flash component version. If I add a caption tag in the XML, for some of the photos (not all of my photos need a caption), and select:
"Overlay on Rollover (if Available)" ( because I only want it to show up IF there is a caption tag )
The photos that have NO caption tag in the XML show the "No Caption" text. Isn't it logical that the caption just would not show, since there is no tag? Why the "No Caption" text?
I'm still not seeing anything in the Wiki for the Flash component that answers this.
This is what it says:
"Overlay on Rollover (if Available)": Same as "Overlay on Rollover" except SlideShowPro will first test for the existence of a caption. If none exists, caption will not be displayed.
But that doesn't seem to be the case...
If you have a problem, please post in the appropriate forum. This is the SSP/LR Feature Request forum.
Here's your answer:

This is a helpful fix, but it's a fix.
Two options to consider: change the default text strings to be blank in the "No" instances, or adjust SSP's overall behavior so that nothing appears if there is nothing to show.
In essence, with all appreciation for SSP, you're asking us to do your work for you here when the one-time fix is incredibly simple.
Duly noted.
This didn't solve my issue with the "no caption" appearing. I am using the newest version of Standalone with Director. I opened up the param.xml file and found that string. I removed the (,No caption, No title,) and left it as (,,) and reloaded it on the server and yet they still appear.
Any ideas? The links you provided are for Lightroom. Is this why? Is there an other step for Standalone?
Well, ya, the links I provided are for SSP/LR since this is the SSP/LR forum
Did you clear your cache before you reloaded your slideshow? I'm not familiar w/ SSP/Standalone, but I believe it uses the same basic param.xml file. Also, did you try using spaces and not removing the text completely?

"Really helpful and practiacl"
I listened to it a while ago and I don't remember the specific techniques I liked.I do however remember that I was fascinated by every word and I felt like I never want the book to end.It talks mainly about listening which is something that I'd like to do more and better in life and in my marriage. It shows many examples of how conflicts that at first look unresolveable are being resolved by having the couple listen to each other.I also liked that the book is not repeating the well known principals of the 5 love languages (tough I think they are mentioned) but it gives new insights from totally new perspective,overall it is a must for everyone who likes to hear more of Garry Chapman.
"life changing one of the best I read"
It is very rare to find books about this subject and even when I did, I didn't know what to expect.I was in the middle of a will struggle on many areas: some personal and some common to many people like loosing weight.I had some success before reading the book but I felt I exhausted and afraid that I'll break and return to my bad habits.After reading the book I got a boost in all areas I see good results (lost 10 KG) and I stopped feeling bad about the few times I do give in to temptation.I learned many simple techniques for controlling the mind and I also liked the simple and powerful analysis of the way we think and the many paths of the mind leading us to prefer short term satisfaction over our long term goals. (all backed up with many researches and explored in a scientific yet simple approach).This knowledge and techniques made me better understand how I used to think, I am now more immune and by simple change of the way I think I can overcome many temptations.I warmly recommend to everyone.
"life changing, Garry please write more."
It is hard to find books on the subject of
"not much added value from the book."
I bought the book mainly because of the title and expected a practical discussion about sex in marriage and maybe some advice of how to increase the frequency of it.Instead I felt I'm getting some philosophy, many quotes from the bible but too little practice.Garry is a very good author, I listened to many of his books and I have very high expectations when I start listening to a new book. This book did not meet them and I do not recommend it,
"I forced myself to hear and stoppen in the middle"
The book is composed of isolated subjects and is not developing ideas slowly like I would expect from a parenting book. The lack of overall story got me lost and I quit in the middle.
The English was also bit hard for me.
"goes from good to great."
I enjoyed the first hour or so but felt it was little trivial and not really educating.
The rest of the book far exceeded my expectations and the ending left me full of many useful insights.
I learnt a few nontrivial facts about parenting and I liked the examples though I think there should have been more examples.
Inspired by the book I got the courage to do something I avoided for a few months as I feared of hurting my child: I decided to teach my one and half year old kid to fall a sleep without my presence. As I kept my cool and showed a lot of empathy during the process I felt we got connected in a way we didn't experience before.
I was able to get my child to respect and try hard to achieve the task instead of having to cry for a few days until she has no option but to comply with the new situation.
The book made me more aware of my needs as a person and feel good about fulfilling my needs even on expense of my family knowing that I will take care of them better once I feel good.
"great book, simple yet powerful"
I expected very little having bad experience with long books tending to extend on minor subjects and bore me on the way. with this book, however I am listening to every word and find myself rewinding once in a while to make sure I got the point correctly.The book is full of useful techniques and interesting insights about human communication.I also liked the section in the book listing types of people to stay away from and how to identify you are dealing with this type of person.
"little bit long and technical but very inspiring."
I was amazed on how much there is to write about importance of physical activity and since I read the book I do much more of it. I got lost in many of the professional terms and feel there are too few examples of real stories.
in spite of that the book is highly recommended and will give deep insights that you would not expect to find in book on physical activity.
"Exactly the same"
The 5 love languages is a great book and when I bought this one I expected more examples of the same spirit but I got exactly the same stories and I feel I hear the 5 love languages book again. Gary Chapman is an excellent writer and and I recommend warmly about the 5 love languages that e wrote.

Nissan, in its quest to make the craziest compact car in the world, has released another video of the Nissan GT-R-to-Juke engine transplant.
The video shows some of the frame cutting that needed to be done to fit the twin-turbocharged V6 into the Juke small crossover, along with the roll cage being welded in. Jigs are also attached to keep the frame straight while the work is going on.
In addition to the engine, the Juke-R gets the suspension, brakes and steering components of the GT-R, all of which need new connecting points.
The next step? Dropping in the engine. You know we'll stay tuned.

Letter to the Editor: More Hearings Needed on Property Tax Legislation
State Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-153, explains why she voted to table House Bill 1776.
Last week, the House Finance Committee, of which I am a member, voted to table House Bill 1776, which would partially eliminate school property taxes (school property taxes will remain for debt service and this bill will not eliminate township, fire, or county property taxes).
[See the bill in the pdf section]
After multiple hearings on this bill and over 13 hours of debate in committee – including over two hours last week at a meeting intended to vote on the proposal – the committee voted 13-11 to table this bill.
Let me explain why I voted to table:
Two of my top priorities since taking office last month after a special election have been to ensure that our schools have the proper support from the state and that seniors are not being taxed out of their homes.
School property taxes raise $12.5 billion in revenue annually; according to the Department of Revenue's analysis, H.B. 1776 would raise $9.1 billion – a $3.4 billion, or over 25 percent shortfall.
Finance Committee Chairmen Benninghoff and Mundy recognize this deficiency, with Rep. Benninghoff stating that the bill "has some significant revenue shortfalls that make it irresponsible to vote on at this time." I am not willing to cut our school funding more than 25 percent while schools are still dealing with almost $1 billion in school cuts last year, with more cuts coming this year.
I urge Finance Committee Chairmen Benninghoff and Mundy to schedule more hearings on this bill to see if there is a way to actually achieve revenue neutrality while providing much needed property tax relief to Pennsylvania taxpayers.

Where is your source for the $12.5 billion dollar property tax revenue figure? I was told $10 billion, and that the total raised by this bill would be $9.6 (not 9.1) with the remaining $400 million taken up by gaming taxes.
Paul Roscoe

Representative Madeleine Dean's figures are incorrect. So you are absolutely right Stephen. The Finance Committee received an estimate from the Department of Revenue indicating that the revenues raised through the proposed taxation system under PA House Bill 1776 would be only $900 million less than the present system of school property taxation. $900 million dollars is nothing. There should have been no reason for the Finance Committee to table Pa House Bill 1776.

I guess she is confused. You know doing two (2) jobs at the same time may be overwhelming. When are you going to resign as a Commisioner???!!! While keeping the two positions until you are reelected as a State Rep (if that happens) is politcally a good move for you and the Dems, it is morally dishonest!!! You have no credibility!!!!

After debt service is paid school tax is gone. It would cut most peoples school tax about 90%. I for one could use that extra money. Let everyone pay. And stop schools from stealing about 10,000 homes per year. School tax is the highest of the ones mentioned. This would bring jobs and be an economic boom in PA.
David Baldinger
8:56 pm on Wednesday, June 20, 2012
It didn't take Rep. Dean very long in office to fall into the Harrisburg spin machine.
Regarding her comment, "which would partially eliminate school property taxes," it should more accurately be, "would eliminate, on average, 90% of school property taxes until retained debt is satisfied." Note the negative spin from her.
on The HB 1776 shortfall was cited by Finance Chairwoman Phyllis Mundy. During both Finance Committee hearings and again at the voting meeting Representative Mundy made this claim. Even though Representative Cox patiently explained it to her on two occasions she was too dense to grasp the concept of the retained debt provision and insisted that the plan had a huge financial shortfall.
Representative Benninghoff, while agreeing that the numbers needed to be further analyzed, DID NOT agree with the $3.5 billion shortfall stated by Representative Mundy.
I know to a certainty that the numbers DO work. I've seen them, I helped compile them, and I know all of the data sources. This is simply another attempt by slimy politicians to kill worthy legislation by misstating facts so they can satisfy the demands of their special interest campaign contributors.
The Harrisburg spin machine never stops.

i was excited to hear about this bill, until i spoke to a state senator in my district. she informed me that this bill has virtually no chance of going any where. there are a number of constituencies (including political) that simply do not want this, and time and time again the bill will get derailed.. so as I was told, don't keep your hopes up. Oh well. I hope she was wrong but I for one am not optimistic.

Wake up call message to all PA State Legislators: We the People of PA want school property taxes elimanated. It is no longer acceptable for you to just vote no and wash your hands of the matter. If you have problems with HB 1776, why do you not offer an ammendment to fix its alleged deficencies? We need school property tax reform now. The status quo is not acceptable. Wake up! Get something done.

Representatives Benninghoff, Mundy and Dean must be misinformed as is the Department of Revenue. Let's look to the bloggers here for the actual figures, since they and they alone seem to know.
After all, $900 million, $3.4 billion is nothing.
Pointy hats, tall stools and a corner of a room needed here.
Stephen Eickhoff
12:39 pm on Thursday, June 21, 2012
I didn't see any link to the Department of Revenue report, Feodor. Since I don't believe in forming opinions based on false appeals to authority, I asked for a citation. Is that so bad? Are our elected representatives in an ivory tower, not to be questioned? I don't believe in straw man arguments, so your third sentence is also invalid. And I also don't believe in ad hominems, so I feel that your closing comment is out of line.
Let's think about this
4:24 pm on Thursday, June 21, 2012
Has everyone posting comments here taken the time to read the 170 page Bill? Maybe if they did they might agree with Representative Dean that we should pause and review all the details. With 170 pages comes the opportunity to pick our pockets step by step. Distract us with no property tax but raise the income tax by 1%, raise the sales tax by another .96%, allow the local school boards or townships to raise income taxes ....bottom line in the end we will all pay more. One more part of the bill taxing FOOD. Lots of smoke and mirrors here. I say take our time to figure it out and make the right changes. Do not rush since we will most likely pay more not less.
Stephen Eickhoff
5:01 pm on Thursday, June 21, 2012
I'm still not sold on the bill-- I just want some proof of the numbers. I already read most of it, and I know that a few items previously exempted from sales tax will not be. I also read that the schools can only enable or modify an income tax via referendum. So it's not "bottom line in the end we will all pay more", especially when those with incomes under $10,000 are entirely exempted. I would like to see a cap on the percentage rate like we have on the current local income tax; I don't see that. Nearly everyone is going to have skin in the game, so it won't be like how half of the citizens of the USA don't pay any federal income tax, so they're hypocritically clamoring for everyone else to pay their "fair share".
Joseph Krezdorn

DO NOT RUSH! We have been told for over 20 years Property Tax reform was coming. In my math that is about 200,000 homeowners who have lost the home they have worked all their life for. Stop the madness.
6:34 pm on Thursday, June 21, 2012
I wanted to see what the top Republican, Benninghoff had to say,who also voted to stop the bill from going forward -looks like guys who wrote it didn't do their homework.
Sir, I understand the need-I have worked on predecessors of this bills over the past ten years-I made an error in scheduling HB1776 for a vote before it was ready. The author needed to prepare an amendment to correct several issues raised in the previous hearings we had in the bill. Additionally many committee members and I were concerned about both the bills revenue generating shortfalls...and the fact that after year one of passage there is no funding mechanism to drive the new established funding out to our 501schools. Thank youyour input. You have my commitment to continue to improve on proposals like HB1776 and others to address increasing schoolpropertytaxes. Most Sincerely Kerry Benninghoff-HouseFinanceChairman.

Assessment hearing was a real joy. What part of; over the last 4 years my home has went down in value. Over the last four years wonderful Coatesville School District has continued to raise my taxes even though my wife hasn't had a raise. If you would like me to keep my home and continue to pay taxes than LOWER THEM!!!!! $6,400/yr is border line criminal! And to all the state reps who tabled the school elimination tax bill, shame on you! You won't be happy until everyone held hostage by there school districts loses there home!

7:44 pm on Thursday, June 21, 2012
Rep. Dean isn't bothering to think "outside the box" - there are ways to generate revenue while lowering and/or eliminating the highly unpopular property tax. For instance, raise the sales tax from 6 to 7%. Or, install a luxury tax on high end items that John and Jane Middleclass are unlikely to purchase. Another avenue to investigate is the PA Income Tax which is based on the more you earn, the more you pay. Isn't that just a little bit more in line with what people can economically pay and, techicnally a little more fair? One simply does not have a two hour hearing and call it a day. Again, I say to our lawmakers, think OUTSIDE the box! <Linda Spreeman, King of Prussia>
Let's think about this
11:08 am on Friday, June 22, 2012
Linda read the bill. It has an increase in sales tax, makes items that were tax exempt to the tax list and raises income tax. It also allows the communities to raise income tax. As far as thinking outside the box Representative Dean has not been in Harrisburgh long enough to start thinking outside the box but has stated she is committed to lowering proprty tax and funding our schools something that is not an overnight fix.
linda spreeman
11:54 am on Sunday, July 8, 2012
Thanks for pointing that out. I missed that detail that a sales tax increase is factored into the bill. I like that Rep Dean is committed to lowering property tax. Thanks for posting to my post :)
Stephen Eickhoff
10:16 pm on Thursday, June 21, 2012
Linda, a sales tax increase is in this bill. Also, our income tax is a flat tax, which in the real world is inherently fair. If you earn more, you pay more in proportion. If you're suggesting a progressive tax, well, we see how "fair" that turns out when we do our federal taxes. And it will be harder for us to really know whether the lost revenue is covered, because a progressive tax welcomes both avoidance and evasion. As for luxury taxes, on the federal level they almost killed the American yacht builders. You just penalize an industry while the wealthy take their money elsewhere.
Paul Roscoe
5:30 pm on Friday, June 22, 2012
Linda Spreeman. You are courageous, honest, and intelligent. Sadly the same can not be said of most politicians in Harrisburg who are gutless, corrupt, stupid, and incapable of seeing 5, 10 or even 15 years down the road.
Everyone working in the private sector who owns a home readily knows that they are being robbed by their school taxing authority because the school boards are controlled by present and past members of the PSEA, alias, the Teacher's Union. And as we all know school taxes are rising faster than our salaries which for the most part have been frozen or cut. What we want is for the state to create a tax burden that is fair and equitably born by all. What we want is for the state to reign in out of control school spending.
In my own school district in Hempfield, teachers are retiring at $87,000 and are making $71,000 a year in pensions. For the next 4 years, teachers will be getting annual 3.725 percent pay increases. They are receiving free further college education at the expense of district residents. They are receiving dental, health, and major medical all for just $30 a month. We bow down to the teachers and the government employees. We all know that you are making more than us.
linda spreeman
9:34 pm on Friday, June 22, 2012
Paul - I understand what you are saying. The salaries that teacher's are paid locally (to work nine months out of the year) along with the other benefits, perks, and time off DURING the school year have long annoyed me. They claim to be professional, yet go on strike if they don't like the raise/benefits. Meanwhile, the rest of the workforce gladly accepts their raises, whatever the amount. Yet, Pennsylvania, in it's infinite wisdom has allowed teachers to strike hurting the very people (the students) they purport to care about. The school taxes where I live continue to rise, and I gather the teachers are happy. They work nine months out of the year!!!
The system is clearly broken, unfortunately the fix seems to allude everyone.

Currently the Hempfield School District in Lancaster Pa has 10 homes that need to be sold through a sheriff sale. It is terrible that people in my area are losing their homes because they can no longer pay their school taxes. Meanwhile superintendent Brenda Becker who is making $184,000 for the upcoming year and who has a future pension of $161,000 pays only $3,200 in school taxes.

You fucking jaffa! |

In cricket a Jaffa is a delvery that is unplayable. See any Steve Harmison yorker for details
5. | jaffa | ||
Jaffa (n) To Jaffa (v) Jaffa'd (adj) The art of Jaffa'ing is a highly technical skill and is a modern day advancement on pulling 'bunny ears' behind peoples heads on photographs. To Jaffa someone you must divert their attention to the camera and before the flash goes off look at your companion in disgust, quizzically or generally as if they are a total odd bod without them noticing. The result, they have unknowingly been totally jaffa'd! There are variations of the original Jaffa including:
The Double Jaffa – When two people Jaffa the same victim
The Uber Jaffa – When 2 or more people Jaffa one person, and that person is pulling a rather ridiculous face/pose The Jaffa Off – When 2 people in the picture Jaffa each other at the same time – in that case best Jaffa wins The Dangerous Jaffa - Jaffa'ing a stranger who may well kick your head in if discovered |

A human slave who incubates a Goa'uld larva in his chest. The Jaffa serve as the army of the Goa'uld. "Jaffa, kree!"
7. | Jaffa | ||
Jaffas is the registered trademark for a small round sweet consisting of a soft chocolate centre with a hard covering of orange flavoured and coloured candy. The name derives from the colour of oranges from Jaffa, Israel. Jaffas have often been sold in movie theatres and have gained iconic status because of the noise made when they are dropped (accidentally or deliberately) and rolled down sloping wooden floors. Through association with this candy, Jaffa is sometimes used to describe a chocolate-orange flavour. In Dunedin New Zealand every year 20,000 Jaffas are raced down Bawldrin Street the World's Steepest Street.
I like to eat Jaffas.

my god this song has to be on the new album. ive been listening to it constantly for over the best part of a year now. i would KILL to hear it live.
Nice little tune. I'd also like to hear it live, but in a different way. Obviously the one we got was not finished.
Speaking of unfinished songs does anyone have any stuff like Mercy, you know - rare/unreleased like demos from other albums? -
This is probably a very unpopular opinion for me to have.....but I don't like Mercy.
I think it's way too repetitive, and it sounds like a U2 is covering a Coldplay song. The melody line is the same for way too long, and the lyrics are (in my opinion) cheesy and don't have that typical Bono-ness to them. The best part is the chorus, but even that doesn't really go anywhere we haven't heard them go before. There's nothing that really jumps out about this song. I'm really hoping that it gets a lot of work and undergoes some major changes before getting put on the new release.
Just my two cents.... -
The same mush as the last two albums. Decent song, nothing special.

What can I say about this bed and breakfast?! It is absolutely fantastic. Marco and Lina are so welcoming and you really do feel like you are at home.

Okay I think I'm going with HellOnHeels13 because that's my favorite number. >.> I just hate adding numbers to an username where they aren't related to the point. But ohwell. We all sacrifice things for the greater good. XD Or evil.

XD HellInHighHeels is already taken too. And I figured HellOnHeels was simpler and more interesting because of the play on words.

Jennycakes bakery to close in Clarendon Hills
Clarendon Hills resident Jennifer Surowiec decorates a cake Sept. 7 at her business, Jennycakes Cakes & Sweets. She is closing Oct. 13. | Chuck Fieldman—Sun-Times Media

CLARENDON HILLS — Oct. 13 will be the final day of operation for Jennycakes Cakes & Sweets, which opened three years ago at 102 S. Prospect Ave.
"It's hard to say goodbye, but it's really about me wanting to have more time with my three kids," said owners Jennifer Surowiec, who is a Clarendon Hills resident. "Things with the shop have gone very well, but it opened my eyes to the amount of work involved."
While a variety of cakes and cookies are available at Jennycakes, Surowiec said about 80 percent of her business has been making custom cakes.
"That's been really fun," she said. "Making cakes for birthdays and weddings has kind of made me feel part of some of the families."
Surowiec, who has leased space for her store, said she doesn't know what will take over the location.
"I've had some people ask about buying equipment, and it's all set up for food, but there isn't anything certain, yet, that I know about," she said.
