New Street Fighter IV Screens Reveal The Original World Warriors
By Steve West 8 years ago comments
People tell me that complaining gets you nowhere, that I should be happy with what Im given. Boy do those morons have egg on their face now. Amidst whining and complaining of seeing the same thing from Street Fighter IV so far, Capcom has graciously revealed new screens. And yes, I get my mother flippin bent over bendy punch screenshot. The world is now a happy place.
The real intent of the screens is to show that the core idea behind SFIV is that theyre going back to the classic Street Fighter II formula. This means those original characters we all know and love are officially in IV. Now well get to go back and find out if the Hyakuretsu Kyaku is stronger than the Hundred Hand Slap.
We have a selection of new screens in the gallery below. You can see all of the latest Street Fighter IV screens courtesy of Famitsu. And you dont have to read Japanese to know how awesome these things are. Right now were expecting nothing less than a perfect spiritual successor to Street Fighter II, and these shots more than ease our minds.

NEW YORK -- Former University of Iowa NCAA Wrestling Champion Brent Metcalf earned a victory over Magomedmurad Gadzhiev to help the United States defeat Russia 5-2 in a freestyle wrestling dual meet in Times Square Thursday.
The United States and Russia split the first two matches before Metcalf used a first period leg clinch and a third period takedown to secure a 1-0, 1-4, 1-0 win in the 66kg/145.5 lbs. match. Metcalf's victory gave the U.S. a lead it never relinquished.
"Times Square. America. Wrestling. That was the difference today," said U.S. National Freestyle Coach Zeke Jones. "The training, the confidence, the relaxed atmosphere. The team energy was good. We were intent on winning today. They were going to get this. They would not be denied."
Billed as "The Battle on Broadway," Thursday's dual was part of the 2011 Beat the Streets Gala, a fundraiser for that has provided wrestling opportunities for thousands of middle school and high school students in New York City. Beat the Streets leader Mike Novogratz announced over $1 million was raised.
Metcalf and other members of the Hawkeye Wrestling Club return to the mat June 9-11 at the USA Wrestling World Team Trials in Oklahoma City, Okla. The event will begin Friday, June 10, 2011, with the first session beginning at 10 a.m. and the second session beginning at 6:30 p.m. The World Team Trials will continue through Saturday with two more sessions. The presentation of the World Championship teams will conclude the event. The winners will earn the right to represent the United States in the 2011 World Championships in Istanbul, Turkey.
Iowa City will host the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials April 21-22 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The trials will determine which athletes will represent the United States at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. The event will be held April 21-22, 2012, at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Tickets to the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials go on sale Monday, June 6, 2011 at 9 a.m. Visit iowacitytolondon.com for more information.

The distinctive flecks of vanilla bean in Breyers Natural Vanilla (starting at $4) led some of our panelists in the blind tasting to identify it as Breyers, although they had not been told that this brand was one of the ice cream choices being tested. Breyers Natural Vanilla proved to be a real favorite because it wasn't overly sweet, and the vanilla taste was described as "mild" and not artificial. Panelists said it had a "light" texture that was admired by some, although others found it was too airy.
The color of Breyers Natural Vanilla is quite white, and there are no misleading clues to suggest that eating it is going to be a custard-like experience. Breyers Natural Vanilla is, by sight alone, not going to pass as a premium ice cream, which was quite OK with some of our tasters. It was interesting to watch this ice cream melt, and one of the panelists noted that it "just sort of fell apart."
The quick melting is likely due to the absence of artificial ingredients. The vanilla bean flecks seem to be deceptive - there is no vanilla bean mentioned in the ingredients list - but whatever is there makes for a very real ice cream. Breyers Natural Vanilla contains only milk, cream, sugar, tara gum, and natural flavorings.
Breyers started as a Philadelphia ice cream shop in the 1880's but the product quickly spread throughout the East Coast. While Breyers ice cream is now owned by Unilever, no one so far has messed with a good thing. Breyers Natural Vanilla proved to be our panel's favorite cheap ice cream.

Busy Blue Jays add CabreraBy BEN WALKER
The Associated Press | November 17,2012NEW YORK The busy Toronto Blue Jays struck again Friday with their latest big deal: All-Star game MVP Melky Cabrera is set to join them in his return from a drug suspension.
A person familiar with the negotiations said the free agent outfielder and the Blue Jays have reached agreement on a two-year contract worth $16 million. The deal is pending a physical, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because there was no official announcement.
ESPN Deportes first reported the agreement Friday.
Earlier this week, the Blue Jays got All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes and pitchers Josh Johnson and Mark Buehrle from the Miami Marlins in a blockbuster trade that could involve a dozen players.
Toronto has not reached the playoffs since winning its second straight World Series in 1993, and has often been stuck behind big spenders in the AL East. After going 73-89 this year, the Blue Jays have made quite a splash in the offseason.
The 28-year-old Cabrera was leading the National League in hitting at .346 for the San Francisco Giants when he drew a 50-game suspension Aug. 15 for a positive testosterone test.
Cabrera later asked to be removed from consideration for the NL batting title, feeling it would be a tainted crown a rule change in the number of required plate appearances for the champion let Giants teammate and eventual NL MVP Buster Posey win at .336.
The Giants didnt put Cabrera on their postseason roster on the way to winning the World Series, even after he became eligible at the start of the NL championship series.
Cabrera hit 11 home runs with 60 RBIs in his lone year with San Francisco. He hit .305 with 18 homers and 87 RBIs the previous season with Kansas City, then was traded to the Giants.
Cabrera made his major league debut in 2005 with the New York Yankees and stayed with them until being traded to Atlanta after the 2009 season.
The Blue Jays had their share of sluggers Edwin Encarnacion hit 42 homers and two-time home run champ Jose Bautista hit 27 but didnt score at an exceptional rate.
Toronto averaged 4.42 runs per game last season, slightly below the AL average.
Cabrera is friendly with Encarnacion and Bautista, another reason he felt comfortable joining the Blue Jays.MORE IN Wire SportsOKLAHOMA CITY The Thunder wont say they have to win Game 6 against the Golden State Warriors...

Angelina Jolie ''needs'' BradAngelina Jolie says she and Brad Pitt "need" to be together.
The actress - who raises six children, adopted trio, Maddox, Zahara and Pax, and biological kids Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne, with Brad - insists she and the Hollywood heartthrob always make quality time for eachother without their kids to keep the spark in their romance.
She said in an interview with Parade magazine: "The children certainly tie us together, but a relationship won't hold if it's only about the kids. You also must be really interested in each other and have a really, really wonderful, exciting time together. We do. Brad and I love being together. We enjoy it. We need it, and we always find that special time. We stay connected. We talk about it. It's very important."
Angelina, 35, also revealed one of the most amazing things about Brad, 46, is that he loves her unconditionally and accepts all her "flaws".
She added: "If Brad and I are strong and happy, then our kids have happy parents, and that's the best thing we can give them. Brad knows me completely, exactly as I am, every part of me. He loves me. The kids love me. They know all my flaws and all my oddities. And they accept them. And so I can feel complete."

Pueblo Police release photos of person of interest in attempted kidnappings
Pueblo Police have released surveillance images of a man who they want to talk to about a series of recent kidnapping attempts.
Police say the images are from an earlier case where a man attempted to lure a woman into his vehicle at the Family Dollar store on Troy Avenue. Police say the man followed the woman around inside the store before leaving.
Detectives are also looking for a blue pickup truck similar to a Chevy S-10. The truck has the word "gambler" on the back. Police say the truck is connected to another report of a man trying to lure a woman into his truck in Pueblo County. Police say the man in the photos matches the description of the man deputies are looking for in that case.
Anyone with information is urged to call Pueblo CrimeStoppers at 719-542-STOP (7867).

EVERY bride is beautiful and glowing with happiness from the inside out. And having glowing skin can only add to a bride's beauty. Here are some of my favorite skin care products for wedding season:
1) Exfoliation revs up circulation, deep cleanses the skin and eliminates toxins and impurities that may be trapped underneathe the skin's surface. It also leaves skin luminous and smooth. Leading up to the big day, make sure to exfoliate twice a week with my Walnut Complexion Scrub.
2) Protecting your skin in the sun is so important for looking your best on your big day! For everyday wear, use Truth Revealed Super Creme SPF 15. For beach days or days when you will be laying out in the sun, use Protect the Truth SPF 50.
3) You also want to give your skin a little extra "oomph" for the wedding. The Lemon Strip Flash Peel is powered by lactic, glycolic and fruit acids to increase cell turnover, brighten skin tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Use twice a week to reveal younger and more radiant skin – you will glow!
A big congratulations to all of the beautiful brides getting married this summer. May your lives and marriages be filled with happiness and love!


text: Well it didn't take someone long before they started using this for terrain or mapping... Monks has just pointed this link out to me which renders terrain on the GPU through the browser. Before you get excited, you should know that at the mo it only works on Linux Chrome browser with a very capable GPU. As such my good GPU is on windows and my linux box runs it but its all black. So I am stuck - like most of you I would think - with looking at the videos. But its just a matter of time. So ill keep this link here for when we have better support from windows and browsers. In the mean time you can look at his methods and source code for doing this.

Test Your Water!
Posted: June 14, 2012
Residents who use a private water system such as a well spring or cistern should get your water tested on a regular basis. It is a good idea to have your water tested annually for coliform bacteria and every three years for pH and total dissolved solids. However, if you can determine what potential contaminants are threats to your water supply, you can more carefully select the type of tests and analysis that you will need done to ensure the safety of your water. Check out this public service announcement for more information! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9_e6ZXXfdQ

This is another problem I came across when trying to upgrade to mojito 0.7.1.
ac.intl.lang & Y.Intl.get don't seem to work if the controller was run on client side.
On the other hand, when controller was run on the server, they work just fine.
Did I miss something?
Thanks in advance.
we can look at it. do you have an small repro case that we can use to dig in?
Hi Caridy,
Here is (what I believe) a similar repro case:
This consists of a Master mojit and Child(Test1) mojit, each has its own lang folder.
On the url, if I switch between lang=en & zh, the output of child --> data --> some is always empty.
However, if I change the application.json file and set defer=false (ie rendering child on server side), then child --> data --> some will display correctly.
Hope this helps.
Thanks again!
Great, I was able to reproduce it, and I opened a new issue in github:
@ft, can you try this again with <firstname.lastname@example.com?> this should be fixed by now!
in Yahoo! Mojito

GED® testing and Work Keys are also available through the college.
Wiregrass Georgia Technical College offers exemption testing for many core and occupational courses. Click for more information on exemption testing.
The ability of a student to succeed in an occupational program at a technical college is determined by the math and language skills he or she possesses. Wiregrass Georgia Technical College is committed to ensuring that our students possess the academic skills necessary to reach their career goals. Therefore, all students applying to Wiregrass Georgia Technical College must be assessed prior to acceptance to a program of study. Students will then be admitted in accordance with the admissions policies. Wiregrass Georgia Technical College utilizes COMPASS, published by ACT, as its primary state approved assessment instrument for testing applicants for program readiness. For applicants who are unable to take computerized tests, or in certain other situations, Wiregrass Georgia Technical College offers another state approved instrument published by ACT.
COMPASS consists of a series of four tests: Writing, Reading, Numerical Skills and Algebra. This computer-based test is an untimed, multiple choice examination. Algebra scores are required only for Associate Degrees and certain other programs of study which include algebra in their approved curricula. All other programs require a numerical score.

If short-term remediation is an option, necessary forms will be provided to the student.
Students who earn the required placement test scores on all sections of the placement test and who meet other admissions requirements are classified as regular admit students. Those who do not earn the required placement test scores on one or more sections of the test are offered various forms of remediation through the Student Success Center, Learning Support or Adult Education, based on their test scores, to help ensure academic success when they begin college coursework. Staff members in all departments are eager to assist students in achieving their academic goals.
Students who do not achieve regular admit scores are assigned a provisional admit type if their test scores are at or above 096 level in all three subject areas and are at 097 level or above in at least one of the areas (see information below concerning students who score at 096 level in all three areas). Students scoring in the 097 placement score range or above are given the opportunity for free short-term remediation through the Student Success Center, if time permits prior to the beginning of the subsequent semester. When remediation is complete, usually within one month, these students may retest on the applicable section or sections (a $5 retest fee per section will apply). If, after remediation, regular admit scores are earned, students may register per guidelines for regular admit students. Students whose scores still fall below regular admit status will register for the appropriate Learning Support class(es) for their first semester of enrollment.
Students who earn test scores in the 096 range for a subject area are not offered the option of short-term remediation for that area and are required to enroll in appropriate Learning Support class(es) during their first semester. Those scoring in the 096 range for all three subject areas are classified as learning support students and may enroll only in learning support coursework until provisional or regular admit status is attained.
Individuals enrolled in learning support coursework must complete all required courses in the learning support sequence and must earn at least a grade of "C" in order to progress to the next level. Placement retests are not administered to students at the end of learning support courses with the exception of degree-seeking students who must retest at the conclusion of the last course in the learning support sequence.
Students whose test scores fall below the 096 level on any section of the placement test are referred to our Adult Education department to brush up on their basic academic skills. Enrollment in college coursework is delayed until the Adult Education requirement is met and the placement scores earned upon retest are at least at the 096 level.
Students with acceptable SAT, PACT, Compass or ASSET scores no more than sixty months old may exempt the placement test. If a student's test scores are over sixty months old, they are considered to be invalid and the student will be required to retest. Official transcripts from an accredited institution approved by the United States Secretary of Education documenting equivalent program-level English and math coursework successfully completed (i.e. a grade of "C" or better was earned) at other post-secondary institutions may be used to document a student's basic education skills and eliminate the need to complete that portion of the assessment instrument. Equivalent coursework includes coursework of the same or higher level (e.g. algebra or calculus coursework may exempt the student from taking the equivalent or lower level of the math portion of the placement test).
As part of the competitive admissions process for the Associate of Science in Nursing, Dental Assisting, Practical Nursing, Radiologic Technology, and Surgical Technology Programs, applicants must schedule and take the HESI entrance exam and submit a progression form to the Student Affairs Specialist before the posted deadlines. Students can schedule for the HESI only after achieving the minimum placement test scores for the program and paying the $47.00 testing fee in the bookstore.
All applicants must complete these designated sections: Math, Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary and General Knowledge and Grammar, Anatomy & Physiology, Learning Profile & Personality Style, and Critical Thinking. Applicants are encouraged to complete an Anatomy and Physiology (or equivalent) course prior to taking the examination. Also, a study guide is available through Elsevier.
The HESI is offered on all campuses several times per year. A student must present the receipt in the Test Center or Student Success Center to schedule the test and must provide valid picture ID to testing personnel on the day of the exam before being admitted to the testing center. Test sessions close to acceptance dates may fill early, so students are encouraged to plan for testing well in advance of the semester they will meet other requirements for entrance into the program.
Each program utilizes the results of the HESI A2 exam in a way which best meets the needs of the specific program. Please consult with your Academic Advisor, Program Faculty, or the Allied Health Advising Packet for program specific information.
Applicants have two (2) attempts to complete the HESI A2 Exam within a 1 year (12-month) time frame, with the highest score used for program selections. The scores are valid for one (1) year post examination date. The HESI A2 Exam must be completed prior to the application deadline. 2016 HESI Testing Dates
Wiregrass Georgia Technical College is an official General Educational Development (GED) Testing Center. The GED tests are developed by the General Educational Development Testing Service (GEDTS) of the American Council on Education and are designed to provide an opportunity for adults who have not graduated from high school to earn a high school level educational credential.

Senior Kenzie Scovill provided SMU's best scoring opportunity during Friday night's 2-0 loss to UCF in the C-USA semifinals.
Nov. 3, 2012
El PASO, Texas (SMU) - The SMU Mustangs fought hard against No. 20 UCF in the Conference USA semifinals on Friday night, almost sending the game into overtime in the closing minutes, but ultimately could not find the back of the net in a 2-0 defeat at University Field in El Paso, Texas.
SMU finishes the 2012 campaign with a 9-8-4 record. The third-seeded Knights advance to face Tulsa in the C-USA Championship on Sunday.
UCF took the lead in the 64th minute when Tishia Jewell threw the ball in to Ashley Nicol, who dribbled past a pair of SMU defenders on the right side. Nicol then dumped the ball off to Kristina Trujic who found herself open at the top of the box and sent a left-footer to the upper-left corner, just past the outstretched arms of Mustangs goalkeeper Lauryn Bodden.
The Mustangs started to up the pressure from there on out, trying to create a tying goal. With 10 minutes left, forward Briana Gaines re-entered the game to replace defender Shelby Hartweck to add an extra attacker on the field. The Mustangs had numerous scoring chances in the closing minutes, but none better than Kenzie Scovill's with less than two minutes remaining. The senior received a ball from Shelby Redman from the left side after Scovill came flying in off the right post, but her header went just a few feet wide of the left post.
UCF controlled possession for most of the first half, but could not get past SMU's sturdy defense. The Mustangs regularly brought 10 defenders back every time the Knights tried to sustain pressure.
"We had to absorb them a little bit and hope to get going forward," Head Coach Chris Petrucelli said. "We were never really able to do that. UCF was really good physically. They were hard, they were strong and they played fast and pressured us well."
SMU evened out the pressure to start the second half by completing more passes along each side of the pitch. The Mustangs hoped to put the Knights back on their heels, but Trujic's goal made SMU's plan more challenging to execute.
Shortly after Scovill's opportunity to tie the game, a defensive breakdown caused by the Mustangs pressuring in the last minute led to a breakaway for Trujic, who was able to beat Bodden one-on-one to give UCF an insurance goal and a 2-0 lead.
The Mustangs' effort was very evident on Friday night, and other than the result, Coach Petrucelli was pleased with what his team gave him in the game.
"We competed absolutely as hard as we could compete, and that's all you can ever as of your team," Petrucelli said. "They were good. They worked hard, and they fought every minute of the game. I was actually really proud of the way our kids played."
This contest marked SMU's last as a member of the C-USA. The Mustangs move to the Big East for the 2013-14 season in all sports.

Threat Dome displays the volume that is visible from a given point on the terrain. Threat Dome looks like top half of a sphere that accurately displays the areas viewable from the defined point. Any point inside the threat dome can be viewed from the dome's pivot point.

If I understand correctly what you want, this is all but trivial.
You basically want to construct a dome from the visible horizon from some arbitrary point. This is easy if you know the horizon (just extrude towards +Z and scale, repeat a few times, and there's your dome), but finding the horizon line is not easy.
Assuming a heightmap terrain (you didn't specify, but otherwise it is still a lot harder!) this means you have to ray-march over the terrain heightmap up to a maximum viewing distance and ignore everything that is less than your maximum value (because something that is below a higher elevation won't be visible). So basically, you only ever care about values that are higher than any ones (including the point you're standing on) you've seen before. Anything less isn't visible as long as the terrain isn't transparent and doesn't have holes. Eventually you will have reached a maximum distance (either practical because it's no longer of interest, or for effects like atmospheric attenuation, earth curvature, etc.).
Do that for, say, a dozen cardinal directions. This is a very coarse approximation. If the terrain between two rays is sufficiently "similar", your estimate is good, the distance that you find on two sibling rays is identical or more or less the same. If it is not, then your estimate is not accurate, so shoot another ray at the half angle between the two, repeating this recursively until you are happy with the accuracy.

An uncredited role in 1993's "Army of Darkness" marked the beginning of Featherstone's acting career. The following year she starred in the little-seen thriller "Dark Angel". While the film was largely panned or ignored by critics, the young actress emerged unscathed, having turned in a strong and inspired performance as a beautiful mistress of the underworld on a justice-serving rampage. A supporting role in 1996's drama "illtown" followed, and she increased her visibility with appearances in "Con Air" (1997) and "Half Baked" (1998). Featherstone was featured prominently as Ben Stiller's neglected and frustrated live-in girlfriend in Jake Kasdan's engaging comic mystery "Zero Effect" (1998)... Continue Bio >>

Yahhhooo! I have to say that of all the winnings I've had from the past giveaways, this one is the best because I've spent almost $100 from these items I've purchased and paid nothing at all. Well, I won $50 gift card and I used that gift card to purchase in their store, since they were having huge sales and special discounts at the time with free shipping on $25 purchase, I was able to avail those incredible discounts and it was an awesome shopping experienced for me since I did NOT pay anything not even a penny. How cool is that? That's why I love joining giveaways in hopes to win. Who knows my name will pop up in the rafflecopter. It's fun to win and it's fun to buy stuff for free. LOL!
My daughter is so fortunate because most of their products are for her age. I got some for my son but I'm sure he won't even wear it. The sponsor's business are for little legs, and their products are mostly socks and leg warmers.

Let's get right to it. Will he, or won't he?
I say he will.
OK, next subject.
Well, hold on just a second before we leave the topic. What we're discussing here, of course, is whether or not Vancouver Mayor Tim Leavitt will run for re-election. Goodness knows, you can make a case for the guy to simply say, "Thanks for the memories, it has been a box full of fun times — but I think I'd rather have just my close friends relentlessly pound on me."
(Note: I've certainly been one of those who have, ah, pointed out the occasional shortcomings of the mayor.)
Still, with all the pain and suffering virtually any politician has to go through, there is a certain amount of toughness and pride — honor, if you will — of not letting the screamers and naysayers run you out of office.
And in the end — when you include that politicians also believe they truly are doing good for the community — the mayor's answer will be 'yes' to have his name on the ballot later this year.
I should add that not everyone agrees with me on this. I spoke to a very savvy local political observer — who knows the art of running a campaign — who said Leavitt is already late to the game if he wanted to run again.
I disagreed and bet a quarter on his running again.
Mind you, Leavitt has said nothing officially about another run. He is likely still assessing his chances with a few close advisers. But all relevant signs are indicating he will run for re-election.
Who can beat him?
When you examine a race like this, you first have to ask yourself: Who can beat him?
One name being tossed around is former City Councilor Dan Tonkovich. Tonkovich may be as polished a local politician as I've ever seen. He is smooth, well-tailored, articulate and easy on the eyes.
But he was unceremoniously dumped by a relatively unknown Pat Campbell back in 2007. That tells you there has been a shift in what voters are looking for today in a politician. And polish might not be it.
Also, the only chance for any candidate to beat Leavitt is to essentially be the anti-Leavitt. Tonkovich does not fit that mold.
Others will emerge, of course, but screamers and naysayers have not done well in Vancouver. And in the end, Leavitt isn't making his decision based on who might run against him.
What Leavitt has to do
When you look at the mayor as a candidate, you also have to ask what he has to do to clean himself up. And that's two main things:
• First, he has to rid himself of that anchor he's been carrying around since the last election. And that would be the "no tolls" campaign push he made when talking about the proposed new Columbia River Bridge. He supports the new bridge.
The mayor has tried to inch away from that old campaign talking point; but if I were his adviser, I'd tell him to clearly admit his mistake and say he wishes now he wasn't so adamant back then.
• Second, Leavitt has supported raising city taxes — not a popular thing these days — but he has to clearly articulate that there were no other good options for the city.
Expect an announcement sometime in mid-February, before the State of City address on March 20. And I could use that quarter, Mr. Mayor!

Think about your communications this way: content is like a juicy piece of meat carried by the burglar to distract the watchdog of your mind. That's the idea of artful communications theorist Marshall McLuhan. It was long before Web 2.0 was even a glimmer in his mind's eye.
The point is that there a lot of distractions today. Your audience is well fed. Twitter has reported serving 140 million Tweets per day and Facebook has over 500 million users pumping out 700 status updates per second. Even the most sophisticated B2B communicator has a big challenge. It takes a lot more than optimizing yourself for search engines or even clever brochures.
If you're a business that's trying to attract attention you have more opportunities than ever before. But, so do your competitors and everyone else. There's dangling meat everywhere vying for at least a sniff.
What's required is a healthy balance of information that's reliable and compelling. It all boils down to the way you position your company and your perceived value. Add to that, a smart, consistent targeting strategy. If you do it right, then the value you provide in your communications will reflect the value of your product. In fact, a juicy communications program – with useful, relevant information – will make you look like a company that people like working with. They 'Like' that.

Are you familiar with the term golden birthday? It's when you turn the same number as the day or number you were born. Today is my oldest's birthday…she's 10 on the 10th. Okay, so technically she's not a "baby" anymore. 😉 But she will always be my baby.
We don't have birthday parties every year for our kids, but since this year is her golden birthday, we had to do something special. She's at the age where a party at a fun place somewhere is more of what she wants than a party at home. Which is actually less work for me, but I miss all the fun party decor. I love all that kind of stuff.
I did manage to make a gold party hat for her. Along with a fun collage of all our favorite pictures of her over the last 10 years.
When is your golden birthday? Do you do something special on that special day?
My golden birthday was when I turned one (Feb. 1st) …and I didn't even know.

In my application, I have the following form

If I enter the description & leave the name as blank and I click the Confirm button, I don't see any error message for the missing name. One weird thing is that my page seems to be refreshed because anything that I typed in for description was gone. Besides, even if I typed in both name and description, the addItem function in the actionListener was never called.
Yesterday, everything was working. I'd be very grateful if someone could tell me what I might have done wrong here.

The following update on Coach George Haines' progress as he recovers from a stroke, was written by his daughter, Kerry Haines Derr.
"Hello well wishers,
"Dad has moved to a skilled nursing home that offers P.T. 7 days a week. He moved on Wed. afternoon. Thursday was a down day for all as Dad was lethargic at best.
"Friday proved to be a much better day.. very alert and aware of his surroundings. He got up in the wheel chair for 1.5 hours and toured his 'work out' room. He has already been given the 2 pound weight by sister, Jody to work on curls!!!
"He has spoken 'Hi' to grandson Colin (Paula's boy) and said my sister's name, 'Jan' to her on the phone. We have a pathway to build for more speech!!
"He will be in this facility for 1-2 weeks, hopefully. We need to build him to 3-4 hours of P.T. a day so that he can move to a full rehab. facility. He has a trapeze bar over his bed which he uses to pull himself up by his left arm. Very little movement at this time on the right. Appears that shoulder and hip/abs on right have some feeling. He is extremely disgusted by the whole situation, as you can imagine!! He tells me with his eyes that it is hard and boy is he unhappy with his condition. But we are a tough bunch and we will not let this get the better of him or us!!
"We thank you all for your emails, cards etc. When he is in the right spirits to hear them read to him, I will. Send only good thoughts… avoid the 'past tense' please.. we ARE moving ahead.
"Thank you for the love you send, it is appreciated by all. More later."
Send emails to
Kerry Haines Derr

Estate Law
Estate Law Questions? Ask an Estate Lawyer.
The house has a beneficiary deed, the bonds with payable on death, the 2001 Buick Century had no one but the deceased but but given to her Grand-daughter-in-law in the will. She was a widow with her only child, deceased. The bank account had POD on them.
Sorry for the delayed response. I had to step away from my desk. I am working on a full response right now.
So the thing to remember is that the language in the Will does not have anything to do with whether you file for probate or not.
What controls if probate is necessary is the ownership of the assets. The majority of the assets are POD, joint or beneficiary and those assets pass automatically to the named beneficiaries on the assets or under the contract with the bank without the need for probate.
The one asset that you described that does not pass automatically is the 2001 Buick. Since the car is titled solely in the decease's name it does require some type of action through the probate court to transfer the title.
The method needed with the probate court should be relatively simple since the only asset that will require probate is the Buick. The method that you would use is the small estate affidavit. You will need to go to the probate court in the county where the grandparent lived and request to file a small estate affidavit.
If the total net amount of assets to be probated is less then $40,000, then you can use the small estate affidavit. A Small Estate Affidavit is an instrument filed with the Probate Court. and is one of several "short forms" of probate available. This tool is commonly used where an asset, such as a car or small life insurance policy, is overlooked in a larger estate plan.
In the affidavit you simply state the decedent's name, date of death, and other relevant information, and identify the heirs. You then list what the decedent owned that is subject to probate, (based on the information provided that would be the car only) and to whom the decedent owed money. Many Courts require you to submit a copy of the death certificate and proof that the funeral bill has been paid in full.
You must wait at least 30 days after death to file a Small Estate Affidavit in Missouri.
In most Missouri Courts the filing fee is $65, and, of course, you will need to pay for the publication, and for your lawyer. If there is a will to be admitted to Probate then the fees will be slightly higher.
After the requirements are met, the "Affiant", or person submitting the affidavit receives a Certificate from the court. By using this certificate the affiant can collect or sell the property/money as appropriate, pay the bills, and then distribute the remainder to the heirs, or as designated in the Will.
Here is a sample small estate affidavit that you can use to start with.
I cannot provide you with legal advise. I can provide you with information about the law related to your question. My answer, and any information that you can find online, should not take the place of having a detailed consultation with a lawyer in your area to advise you regarding your specific issues.

You should only rate me if you are satisfied with the information I provided you. If you feel there is something more I could have done please do not rate me and click REPLY TO EXPERT.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
In my opinion, it is unlikely that the contractor would be arrested and charged with extortion. As I see it, there are a couple of problems with such a prosecution.
First, extortion requires an intent to obtain money or services from another person through coercion. Here, the contractor could easily state that the job became more expensive for whatever reason. Assuming this to be accurate, it would be extremely difficult to prove otherwise.
Another problem is that law enforcement would likely consider this civil, not criminal, and not make an arrest. One could easily argue that this clearly could be handled in civil court as there is a contract between you and the contractor and he appears to be in breach of that contract. For these reasons, I suspect that law enforcement would be unwilling to consider this to be criminal in nature and would not consider it to be extortion.

Since the beginning of agriculture farmers have relied on biological processes for enhancing soil nutrition. With the advent of chemical fertilizers in the early 1900s, many farmers discontinued the use of green manures, crop rotations, and animal manures. Additionally, many farmers only grow one or a few crops, and farmers usually either grow crops or livestock but not both. WSU has conducted extensive research on the use of compost as a soil amendment and source of nutrients. This work points out the need to understand the composition of a particular product (compost are highly variable) and how it acts in a soil, especially in terms of potential nutrient release. As an already-stabilized material, compost may be more useful for improving long-term soil quality and nutrient supply than as an immediate source of nutrients for crops. In addition, composting is used to manage municipal and mixed waste streams, leading to odor and contamination problems, and is being evaluated for its ability to break down organic chemical contaminants (e.g. hormones, antibiotics). Research and extension on these topics is now underway at WSU.

Chronicles the life of one '60s survivor still flying his freak flag high.
"Saint Misbehavin'" chronicles the life of one '60s survivor still flying his freak flag high. Now, as then, a colorful footnote to the era, Wavy Gravy was present and accounted for at a number of the decade's major moments; purportedly, Bob Dylan even used his typewriter to write the lyrics for "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall." Opening Dec. 3 on single screens in San Francisco and Berkeley, then the following week at Gotham's IFC Center, self-distribbed docu will primarily appeal to those who still remember (however hazily) the personalities and events on display, with tube sales possible after theatrical play.Subject was born in 1936 as Hugh Romney, keeping that humble given name as he began attracting notice as a poet and standup comic in Manhattan's more bohemian quarters in the late '50s. Dawning countercultural vibes drew him to sunny California in 1962, where he promptly hooked up with Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters and started making performance less a profession than a full-time lifestyle, eventually changing his moniker to fit. Calling him "a consummate idealist," his wife of 40 years, Jahanara Romney, says, "That persona you know as Wavy — that's who he is." He calls himself "not a classical clown (but) an intuitive clown," one whose mission is described by pal Ram Dass as encouraging progressive change by "infusing politics with humor." As the hippie scene's preeminent jester, Wavy helped defuse tension at anti-Vietnam War protests (not without incurring some police beatings); orchestrated "altruistic ministrations" to the hungry, tripping and muddy masses at Woodstock; ran satirical "Nobody for President" campaigns; put together myriad all-star music benefits for worthy causes (an ongoing pursuit); and so forth. These days, he still lives in the same Berkeley commune he has for decades, working primarily on the kids' circus-skills retreat Camp Winnarainbow and international health advocacy org Seva Foundation, both of which he co-founded. Musician Bonnie Raitt labels him her generation's "Pied Piper." Notably, there are few interviewees from any other generation here, and those not kindly disposed toward clowns in general may find that a little of this one's ever-cheerful, ever-punning New Age funny business goes a long way. But nostalgists will discover plenty to enjoy in director Michelle Esrick's well-crafted package, which makes good use of period songs and archival footage.
