The 23-year-old had been linked with the Celestes earlier this week, with reports suggesting that the defender would join new Coach Luis Enrique at Balaidos. And the club have today confirmed that the Spain U-21 international has signed.
"I chose Celta because of the project," he told reporters. "I like the way the team plays and the forward-thinking mentality of Luis Enrique."
Fontas spent last season on loan at Mallorca.

Digital Managing Editor Robert Wilonsky talks about why he found mob flick "Killing Them Softly," with Brad Pitt and James Gandolfini, to be an offer moviegoers should refuse. Meanwhile, movie critic Chris Vognar says "Hitchcock," starring Anthony Hopkins, is a irresistible but flawed look into the making of "Psycho."

Research Article
Morgan's canon, Garner's phonograph, and the evolutionary origins of language and reason fn1
GREGORY RADICK a1 fn2
a1 Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge, Free School Lane, Cambridge CB2 3RH, UK
'Morgan's canon' is a rule for making inferences from animal behaviour about animal minds, proposed in 1892 by the Bristol geologist and zoologist C. Lloyd Morgan, and celebrated for promoting scepticism about the reasoning powers of animals. Here I offer a new account of the origins and early career of the canon. Built into the canon, I argue, is the doctrine of the Oxford philologist F. Max Müller that animals, lacking language, necessarily lack reason. Restoring the Müllerian origins of the canon in turn illuminates a number of changes in Morgan's position between 1892 and 1894. I explain these changes as responses to the work of the American naturalist R. L. Garner. Where Morgan had a rule for interpreting experiments with animals, Garner had an instrument for doing them: the Edison cylinder phonograph. Using the phonograph, Garner claimed to provide experimental proof that animals indeed spoke and reasoned.
fn1 This paper was awarded the Society's Singer Prize for 1998.
fn2 I am grateful to Simon Schaffer, Robert Richards, M. J. S. Hodge and several anonymous referees for helpful comments on earlier drafts, and to the organizers and participants at the ISHPSSB conference, Oaxaca, July 1999, where a version of this paper was presented.

Dustin Quinn of the renewal dept. just called me this evening so he could renew me. He also said that he had $60,000.00 in guaranteed work but I couln't get out of him how much it would cost. I also repeatedly told him I was dissatisfied and I wanted my refund. HE HUNG THE PHONE UP ON ME. I have absolutely and will never have any intention of renewing anything with them.
They are a bunch of scam artists who need to be stopped and put out of business.
Dustin tried to say that I hadn't updated my profile since March 2008, that is bull. I've tried to update it several times, it kicks things out all the time, and you have to start over. Besides that, my scope of work never changes, I've never gone from a landscape contractor to building nuclear reactors.

Good news for those planning to travel on Labor Day.
According to AAA and the Oil Price information Service, regular unleaded gas is $2.51 per gallon in central Ohio, which is the lowest average price since May. While some drivers appreciate the drop in prices, other's don't care.
"I don't like the prices going up and down especially with everything that has been happening in the gulf," said Driver John Pennington.
While another driver, Reubin Morgan said, "I guess it's you know that's just the way it is, you gotta pay what you-- if you want to go, you gotta pay right."
AAA says an estimated 34.3 million people are planning to travel at least 50 miles from home for the holiday. Some analysts are reluctant to predict where long-term gas prices are heading, due to the struggling economy. On Thursday, gas prices jumped 20 cents from $2.45 a gallon for regular to $2.65 here in Zanesville.

Nothing Dumb about 'Age of Stupid' Premiere
Posted By Suzanne Byrne On March 13, 2009 @ 5:56 pm In Celebrity Planet, Green Living | No Comments
Ladies and gents: The entertainment world is changing.
A week after telling you that Fox's hit series 24 has gone green [1], I'm happy to report that the world's first entirely eco-friendly movie premiere will take place this Sunday.
Celebrities will arrive at the London premiere of "The Age of Stupid [2]" — a film about a future world crippled by climate change — via solar car, bike or pedicab. The carpet on which they walk will be green, not red. And the movie screening will take place in A solar-powered tent.
The film — centering on an old man living alone in a devastated world in 2055 — is directed by Franny Armstrong, who says it's as much about campaigning as entertaining. "We've just got a couple of years, maximum, to act if we are going to prevent catastrophic climate change and stop the deaths of hundreds of millions of people," she told Reuters. "So, as a film-maker there is absolutely no choice now as to what subject you should be working on."
Because they're branding themselves as the first completely green premiere, they know they'll be scrutinized, so they're providing all the details to the public.
"We calculated the film's carbon footprint by recording every journey — by foot, bicycle, motor boat, rowing boat, plane, train, car, rickshaw and helicopter — as well as all the electricity, gas, food and equipment used," says Armstrong.
She said it added up to 94 tons of CO2 — equal to that generated by four Americans in a year.
I can't wait to see who tries to top it. Maybe next year at this time I'll be writing about a film whose carbon footprint equaled that of just two people a year.

Isle Spat Protests Spill to Malaysia
By Celine Fernandez
Over the past week, anti-Japanese protests have prominently spread across China. Less noticed, a small isle of activism emerged in Malaysia.

- Isles Tension to Nix Annual Japan Inc. Visit to China?

On Wednesday, some 60 Chinese, carrying mini flags of China held a peaceful protest outside the Japanese embassy in Kuala Lumpur. Claiming to represent Chinese nationals in Malaysia, the protestors, many wearing red arm bands, stood outside the embassy for ten minutes shouting slogans before handing over a memorandum to a representative of the Japanese embassy. The mostly male group unfurled a banner written in Chinese which said Diaoyu Island is part of China.
The leader of the group, Huang Bin, said in an email that the Japanese government's move has severely hurt the feelings of the Chinese people "Any form of 'buying the islands' by the Japanese side is illegal and invalid. Japan should stop playing with fire on Diaoyu Islands."

Think you have to look at this a different way and ask are any high profile (read expensive) players coming into the prem period. I might be wrong, but to date I think Hazzard is the most expensive at about 40M. Even City so far has been very quiet.
Some will say that is a sign we've got no money, but does no-one other than Chelsea have any cash? I think more likely is the overhang of FFP is starting to bite, and it's not just or even mainly the transfer fee you need to look at, but the total cost of the player including wages over his contract. Chelsea having got rid of some high wage earners (Anelka, Drogba, etc,) maybe in a position to bring someone in, while other clubs would have to move someone off their wage bill before bringing someone in.
For us I think that means a decision being made on the likes of Cole, Aqualani and maybe a couple others who are at the upper end of our pay scale have to be made. If the gaffer thinks they can make us better then there may not be much room to bring in a high profile player. Otherwise they'll be put on the market, or loaned out if they can't be sold to reduce our wage bill, and make room for replacement players.
The exact same thing is happening elsewhere. One assumes City has plenty of money to buy whoever they want. However until they get some of those players who are eating into their profitability (the likes of Adebayor, or Tevez, etc) off the books, while they may be able to afford a Cavani or a RVP, they risk being well foul of FFP.

Regarding Carroll he was a rash buy IMO.
We should've bought a player based on how many goals he's scored and how many he's likely to score (in the case of a striker). Carroll wasn't a prolific striker.. so hence why the waste of money accusations..
As luck would have it we've an 18 yr old on tour , who looks the business and didn't cost the earth.. So it'll be interesting how he'd do in he EPL?
Something's definitely changing in the transfer market nowadays.
there is still the odd mega transfer but everyone else is looking for value. It started some time ago after Fergy had stated that there was little value in the January window. Slowly building ever since.
I'm hoping that we might see a slow decline or levelling off transfer fees and players wages. It'll be for the greater good of the game in the end but part of me is saying that there will always be clubs and players that will push that boundary.
I suspect that your owners, being more familiar with money than football, might be a little reluctant to spend more than £30m on a player after the last experience.
In fact, I'm not sure any Premiership club has a particularly good track record with £30m+ signings. Off the top of my head, I can think of only Rio Ferdinand who has been a successful signing at that level. Oh, and Aguerro probably. But thinking of Shevchenko, Torres, Carroll, Berbatov, Veron, Robinho there would seem to be rather more disappointments than successes.

Not sure what you mean by "more familiar with money than football", I assume it's a little jab to suggest they don't know what they are doing and only interested in money. But it seems to me they actually have a very good track record in sports management. Leave the tactical side to the best available coaches and managers, and focus on the strategy which will provide the funds to invest in a winning team.
But I hear what you're saying about the success of the high priced players. It's almost a kiss of death to label a player with a huge price tag. I do think it's fair to say we've been guilty of overspending (Carroll) but it makes me scratch my head when a I see a club doing it again and again and still not getting the results you assume they were after, especially if their owners supposedly know more about football than money.
.....or are there any players at all coming to Liverpool this year?.....?
dsteer_lfc_68 dsteer_lfc_68 Jul 25, 2012 01:04 Flag
Sofa, I'll refer you to FFP rules again. They could pump their own money (beyond what they have already done to pay off over 90% of the Texans left us) but it will mean less money that they will be allowed to put in later in order to even out the books over the reporting period. The books have to even out over the FFP reporting period between what the club earns and what it spends.
Why is everyone SO fixated on bringing in expensive players?
Expensive does not guarantee good, for one thing.
Secondly, I thought we wanted the good old glory days back at Anfield. That means bringing on our youth and buying "lesser" or more to the point "as yet undiscovered" talent and bringing them into the philosophy that is Anfield.
Building success is all about laying good foundations, not buying in prima donnas who will turn around and leave at the drop of a dollar bill.
- 1 Reply to ajay
What is "the philosophy that is Anfield" and, ignoring the big bad beastie clubs financed by dirty foreigners with money from dodgy energy dealings, how does it differ from anyone else's philosophy?
Yup that's it. What comes in must be greater or equal to what's gone / going out over the reporting period.
I'm sure there's ways round it as City for one will push those boundaries. I guess they have to with a balance sheet like theirs at the moment. Wages alone are 120% of club revenue I believe or something like that.
United are the one's to watch. If / when they float on the stock exchange their financial capacity will be enormous. And yet they still aren't going crazy in the transfer market either.
Value is the key word and it seems many clubs are beginning to grasp the concept. Probably in part thanks to Barcelona who have demonstrated what can done with the right youth policy. Ajax before them. Value wise we have failed miserably for years when you look at our transfers. We've even managed to generate bad value out of players who cost relatively little!
We need to change that first and foremost as well as build the foundations for a solid future. That means youth, club structure, coaching structure, playing style etc. To complment that we also need fully exploit every possible revenue stream we can.
You'd be surprised at how many talented young players Chelsea has on its books. Huge numbers. The older ones are out on loan mostly, the younger ones won the Youth cup again this season, I think. A good proportion of the Olympic team are either Chelsea or ex-Chelsea. And our recent high profile signings have been young players too.
The future is blue.
Yes I didn't add that Chelsea have also embraced the importance of a top notch youth system with the construction of the new academy and a host of excellent young players in the ranks.
My issue is that the first team hasn't really seen the fruits of this yet. Not in significant numbers and the club still relies on the old guard backed with some high profile signings.
"I'm sure Robert will say he's not worried"
Before I started supporting Chelsea it had won one League title and pretty much nothing else. In several decades of supporting Chelsea before RA appeared, it won three FA Cups, two Cup Winners Cups and an odd League cup. Since RA arrived it has won one CL title, two League Cups, three league titles and four FA Cups. We're currently on a high and more exciting players are arriving.
It's well beyond my control what happens in the future so I'm not going to worry about it. But my point is simply that RA has already given us more trophies and excitement than I could have expected in the rest of my life. And it shows no sign of stopping.
I understand that sentiment Robert but if (and its a big "if") Roman walks away and (again, a big "and") the club folds ... would you still feel the same way about the last few years?
I dunno if I would but I reckon plenty of Pompey fans would swap a few years in the prem and one FA cup for tighter fiscal policy right now.

The Lions open their 10-match tour against the Barbarians in Hong Kong on June 1 - the same day as the Top 14 final - but Jenkins does not have a release clause in his contract and Toulon have confirmed through coach Bernard Laporte that they would not be releasing any potential Lions early.
Laporte outlined his hard-line stance ahead of a scheduled meeting with Gatland, who has flown to France specifically to discuss the thorny issue of player release.
"The international window begins on the weekend of June 9. Everything that happens before that is outside of the window," Laporte told L'Equipe. "As far as freeing up Gethin, in principle, it's a no. If he plays in the final, he will leave the day after, on Sunday June 2, but not before.
"You don't pay a player to be playing with the Lions at the most important moment of the season."
On the day he was confirmed as head coach, Gatland highlighted how Nathan Hines had walked out on Perpignan before the 2009 Top 14 final in order to tour with the Lions. But Hines was leaving Perpignan anyway that summer.
With Laporte adamant and Jenkins tied to the terms of his deal, Gatland will have to cross his fingers that Toulon do not reach the final.
If they do, the Lions coach would have to soften his stance if he is to have one of the world's leading loosehead props available for the Test series against Australia.
"You don't want to cut your nose off to spite your face in terms of making those players unavailable if they're really, really important for you," Gatland said on Tuesday. "But I'm also really, really conscious that you want the whole squad together. You don't want people coming out late on a Lions tour - you want them in right from the start."

Swedes split games with Minden, Lex
An attitude adjustment is what Swede coach Roger Neujahr said was needed after splitting games in a triangular at Minden on Sept. 18.
Gothenburg easily handled Minden in the opener, 13-0, but the tables were turned in the nightcap with the Swedes being shut out by Lexington, 8-0.
The team has been feeling sorry for itself, having lost three starters to injuries over the last several weeks, Neujahr said.
"We, as a coaching staff, have tried to look for the right answers," the coach said. "I think we moved ahead a little bit (at Ogallala Thursday) in getting that blood flowing again."
3rd inning buries Whippets
Gothenburg tallied 10 runs in the third inning en route to a 13-0 victory over Minden.
The Swedes loaded the bases with one out in the first inning but came away with just one run while stranding three. An error produced one base runner for Gothenburg in the second and little else.
Sending 16 players to the plate in the third inning, the Swedes exploded for 10 runs. Katlin Harm and Emily Franzen each slapped a two-run single.
Becca Riley hit a two-run double for Gothenburg in the fourth inning to make it 13-0. She went 3-for-3 for the game with a pair of doubles.
Minutemaids dominate
Gothenburg was missing in action in an 8-0 thrashing by Lexington.
The Swedes managed just one hit, a single by Shay Wear in the fourth inning. One other player reached base on a walk.
The Minutemaids were active at the plate with 12 hits—five for doubles.
Lexington scored single runs in the first and third innings and then had three runners cross the plate in both the fourth and fifth frames.

Why teach English abroad?
Teaching English as a second language in a foreign country is an increasingly popular option as it is an accessible inexpensive way to travel, and the earnings can be quite good depending on the country. (South Korea, Japan and Taiwan are among the wealthier options). In many cases, schools also pay for travel and accommodations.
How to find a teaching job?
The most common way to find employment is to be hired through an agency or ESL (English as a second language) recruitment firm. In order to make the best choice, you are encouraged to investigate each company thoroughly and speak to ESL instructors in the field. If you tap into your network you may discover there are people close to you who have taught ESL abroad. They can share their experience with you, provide valuable advice and maybe even refer you to a school.
We recommend you reading the book Teaching English Abroad for more information on teaching English abroad. Topics covered in this book:
- What ESL training and qualification are available.
- How to find a teaching job.
- How to prepare before departing to another country.
- What are the potential problems you may face at work.
For more resources: Recommended books (Available at CaPS).
Some countries require TESL certification or experience but many only require you to be a native English speaker and have post secondary education. TESL Certification programs vary according to length and cost. You can opt to take an intensive 4-6 week program locally or overseas, or pursue undergraduate or graduate studies in TESL. For more information on teaching with/without certification: Queen's University - Teaching English Abroad
FAQTEFL.net, a site dedicated to ESL teachers and staff, has compiled a list of frequently asked questions about teaching English abroad:

Summer & Short-Term Teaching
Are you thinking to gain some teaching experience in summer? The option to teach English in short-term period is limited as most language schools look to hire full-time teachers for one year contracts. However, you can still find opportunities by working or volunteering in summer language camps.
In both Europe and North America, most summer camps are Day Camps and English teachers usually live in an apartment in the city where the camp is held. In Asia, a summer language camp is usually held at a university campus and it is commonly known as University Campus, and teachers usually live in the dorms.

Teaching English in Chile, by Yasaman Haeri, Education Student
In May 2008, I had the opportunity to volunteer and teach English in Chile. With the help and guidance of our career advisor, Antonella Nizzola, various volunteer organizations were provided. I came across The English Opens Doors Program, an organization funded by the Ministry of Education in Chile and UNESCO. It was a 3-month summer program where volunteers lived with Chilean families and taught English in public schools. Because of the dire need for English teachers in Chile, I was fortunate enough to work with Chilean teachers and students and completely immerse myself in a new culture. This journey inspired me on different levels. It has shaped my outlook on life and has given me a yearning to explore and to discover the unknown. My growth in Chile has helped me flourish as a teacher and has taught me more than any educational institution. Please visit the English Opens Doors website for more information at www.centrodevoluntarios.cl.
Teaching English in the Czech Republic, Lithuania and Germany, by Jan Bottomer, CaPS Career Advisor
A few months away from finishing up my Bachelor's of Science in Psychology at the University of British Columbia, I wanted to take some time off and work and travel and hopefully figure out what I wanted to do longer term. I'd always wondered about a career in teaching, so teaching English overseas seemed a natural fit.
I wanted to go to Eastern Europe, and through my research I realized that basically any reputable employer in Europe required TEFL certification in addition to an undergraduate degree. Since I was fairly serious about giving teaching a try, I decided to enroll in a Cambridge Certificate of English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA), one of the most widely-recognized training programs for would-be teachers who have little or no previous experience. The four-week intensive program covered such topics as pedagogical methods, theories of language acquisition, classroom dynamics and classroom management techniques and course design, and included extensive teaching practice of beginner and intermediate students every afternoon. At the beginning of the program I had a hard time even thinking of myself as a teacher, but the learning curve on a CELTA course is huge and by the end of four weeks I was more than ready to go.
I obtained my first teaching position at The Caledonian School, a large private language school in Prague, Czech Republic. I applied for the position from Canada, completed a successful telephone interview, signed a 9-month contract and set off! From an initial schedule of about 10-14 teaching hours a week I eventually taught over 25 hours ranging from group intensive courses, exam preparation work and one-on-one lessons, to business people, teenagers and even a few children. The school had an excellent resource library and while course descriptions often came with a recommended book, teachers were given a fair amount of flexibility in terms of tailoring the courses to student needs and making adjustments and additions to the curriculum as necessary. I found my students very interested in Canada and life there, eager to learn, and generous and open in sharing their impressions and experiences of life in the Czech Republic. It sounds cliché but I definitely learned as much if not more from them than they did from me. Prague itself is a fabulous city – picture-postcard pretty but also a real, gritty and energetic city underneath its beautiful surface. The Czech Republic is a gorgeous and still relatively under-touristed country, with cheap food and transportation, castles, national parks and picturesque towns galore and a fascinating history. My teacher's salary may not have looked like much when converted into Canadian dollars, but it allowed me to live well and travel a great deal within the country and its Eastern European neighbours.
Next, I landed positions teaching at a series of summer camps based out of an International House school in Vilnius, Lithuania. Teaching kids was a completely different ball game after a year of working with motivated business professionals! It was a huge challenge to rethink practically all of my teaching methods while keeping 15 under 12's entertained with very few resources. Once I'd settled into things I had an absolutely amazing time. For many of these children, I was the first person they had ever met who did not speak Lithuanian, and their natural curiosity was more than enough to break down the language barriers between us. A camp teacher's salary is a small one, but room and board and travel expenses to and from the camps (one in Finland and one in southern Lithuania) were included, and I wouldn't have traded the experience for anything.
At this point in my teaching career I was much too in love with Europe to consider returning home just yet, so moved on to Berlin, Germany, Here again, I encountered a completely different set of bureaucratic logistics and teaching expectations. At that time most teachers worked on a freelance basis, for several different schools. I ended up getting on at four, although the bulk of my work eventually centered around two, the business-focused Linguarama in Central Berlin, and the smaller Dialog Sprachenschule in the western district of Charlottenburg. My German students tended to be well-traveled business people wanting to perfect their communication skills with European and North American clients, or, conversely, beginners who had grown up in the former East Germany and felt their lack of English keenly. In a strained economic climate, the expectations of the students and demands of the employers were both high. Some schools followed set methods and curricula while others gave you free reign with both. Working as a freelancer was definitely nerve-wracking at first, but over time, once I built up a positive reputation with the schools and students I worked with, I learned to value and make use of the wonderful flexibility and control such a situation gives you. I travelled a great deal during this time, taking advantage of my schedule's flexibility and the cheap airfares from Berlin to the rest of Europe.
My experience teaching overseas has indelibly shaped who I am today. I met people and had experiences I will always remember and made friendships which will last a lifetime. My love of travel and my interest in and curiosity about other cultures, places and ways of life, my teaching abilities, communication skills, confidence, resilience, independence and knowledge of the world all expanded exponentially. Working with such a wide range of professionals, hearing about their jobs, their lives and how they got to be where they are today, cemented my interest in vocational issues and prompted me to apply to the Counselling Psychology program at McGill upon my return to Canada, and to seek an internship and later a job as a career advisor with McGill's Career Centre (CAPS). While everyone's experience will be different, I would recommend teaching and living abroad wholeheartedly. You are more than welcome to contact me if you have any questions about my experience or teaching English in general and I wish you all the best in your overseas adventures to come!

IFC gets 'In the Loop' at Sundance
For the second day in a row, IFC Films has made a splashy Sundance Film Festival acquisition.
One day after snagging distribution rights to the Nazi Zombie film "Dead Snow," IFC picked up U.S. rights to the political comedy "In the Loop."
Set in London and Washington and focusing on a manufactured war, "In the Loop" stars James Gandolfini, Peter Capaldi, Tom Hollander, Gina McKee, Mimi Kennedy, David Rasche, Chris Addison, Anna Chlumsky and Steve Coogan.
Directed by Armando Iannucci, "In the Loop" had its world premiere on Thursday (Jan. 22) night.
"We are going to celebrate tonight," IFC Entertainment President Jonathan Sehring said in a statement. "'In the Loop' is one of those rare movies that you know is destined to be a classic. It's not often that you get to introduce such a major talent as Armando Iannucci to American audiences. This is comedy at its best with an amazing cast that brings one of the best scripts in recent memory to life. Its going to do incredibly well on all of our platforms."
Iannucci added, ""This is a great climax to a fantastic time at Sundance. I was so excited by IFC's excitement for the film. I'm really pleased we've done the deal with them, and I can't wait to start working with them on the release of the film later this year."
IFC plans to give "In the Loop" a theatrical release through its IFC In Theaters program, while also going out through the company's deal with Blockbuster.

Hey if you ask $2.75 you probably create volume. ;-)
Well today at least I would have to agree, but there have been some signs of life here and there. Just looks like someone is unloading shares on low volume with no consideration of share value. It might bounce back depending how much they are holding or if there is more interest.

Is the WP software supposed to automatically build a thumbnail for this purpose?

Avenged Sevenfold is hosting a show on Guitar Hero Live this week
- Written by Destructoid
I'm still rocking out with Guitar Hero Live, mostly because of the constant free content that comes my way by way of Guitar Hero TV. Sure there are microtransactions under the surface, but for weeks now, I've played the TV function without paying, and I have over 100 free plays under my belt that I don't even use.
This week Activison is trying something a little different, as Avenged Sevenfold is hosting a live show that discusss and displays some of their favorite bands, like Pantera and Megadeth. You can find the schedule below!

Nanomaterial disposal
Study reveals pros, cons of nanotech-enhanced building materials' use.
A recent article from Sify featured research highlighting the potentially dangerous environmental and health risks of nanomaterials in the construction industry after being disposed of improperly.
Researchers, from Rice University, cited many potential applications that could make nanomaterials most useful in the construction industry. They include fire-resistant materials and the strengthening of steel and concrete. But the researchers also cited that "in some cases, the very properties that make the nanomaterials useful can cause potential problems if the material is not disposed of properly." For example, it could endanger bacteria found to be beneficial to the environment.

It's also broke in Mozilla Firefox. :( But it looks good for a first try!
It's also broke in Mozilla Firefox. :( But it looks good for a first try!
it doesn't render correctly in firefox at 1280x 1024
Can you show me a screenshot of it? And does anyone know how to fix the problems I have listed?
I like the style of your blog but in my FF it is very slow to scroll. Hence I never looked at the other issues.
Why would it be slow to scroll? I'm trying to make my site good for all browsers so I'll try to fix all issues (which isn't even possible due to the different issues each browser has).
There seems to be a very odd effect which is seen here on this forum from time to time and has been reported elsewhere which generates high cpu load, and a loss of functionality. None of us are near yet to fixing it. It seems to be inconsistent across both time and browsers. It is however a separate thing to the screen res q posted. I will have a look if I can. As to the footer, it is a feature of the default template. A lot of folks prefer it to go below the menu and the content. It is simple to place there.
nice site mate - one little nigle 1px error with h3 in firefox
Root: Thanks for explaining it to me. As for the footer, what do you mean by below the menu/content? It is already below the content which is the weblog. Is there another place I could put it so I don't have to put up with re-adjusting the div depending on the weblog length?
Arthuc: What's "nigle 1px error with h3?"
I am downloading firefox to see how my site looks in it, thanks all for the responses. :)
Well a lot of us have added an outer wrapper to the whole shebang in index.php.
Or at a minimum closed the #rap after the footer paragraph. You can then set the footer as another div unlike the para it is by default. Once you have got the darn thing under some semblance of control you can then put the footer right across the bottom of the menu and content. You can't go on altering the fixed height in a blog. It will drive you nuts.
Love the topbanner :) Rawks!
this looks fantastic... nice and clean but with enough visual interest and negative space to move the eye around

NEWS29 April 2008
NEWS29 April 2008
'Merger of equals' deal would create second largest agency • Reactions from analysts and agenciesGERMANY/UK-- Research giants GfK and TNS have confirmed that they are in talks to merge.
The proposed "merger of equals" would see the two firms become the world's second largest agency, under the name GfK-TNS. Shareholders in each of the two firms would hold 50% of shares in the merged group.
News of the potential merger had an immediate impact on both companies' share prices, with increases of 18.8% for TNS and 6.36% for GfK.
The announcement of the potential merger came in a joint statement this morning, in response to press speculation. The firms said that "a merged GfK and TNS would be positioned to capitalise on global opportunities in the market information industry with specific expertise in the consumer, technology, media and healthcare sectors."
The combination would broaden the range of services on offer, strengthen syndicated business, and extend coverage in the fast-growing markets of Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe, they said.
TNS chief executive David Lowden said: "The market has long since seen these two companies as ideal partners and now is the right time to bring them together." Klaus Wübbenhorst, CEO of GfK, said the combination would create a "global leader in our industry".
In the merged firm, the chairmen of GfK and TNS – Hajo Riesenbeck and Donald Brydon – would become co-chairmen, with Brydon planning to step down after two years. Lowden would serve as chief executive, with Wübbenhorst as non-executive director. The firm would take TNS' London headquarters, with GfK's global headquarters in Nuremberg becoming the German head office.
The two firms stressed that the deal is still under discussion and would be subject to regulatory approval.
Research spoke to industry leaders and financial analysts to garner reaction
The response from financial analysts has been varied, but many agreed that the news could entice other companies to bid for TNS.
Numis Securities' Dominic Bush speculated on the possibility of other bids. "The prospect of a nil premium merger puts TNS in play and we believe trade buyers and possibly private equity could be interested," he said, naming WPP, owner of the Kantar Group, as a potential suitor.
Alex de Groote of Panmure Gordon said the lack of cash in the nil premium share-for-share merger would disappoint some investors, but that the news could "flush out" other interested parties, boosting TNS' share price in the short term. He added: "There is a defensive aspect to this combination and it could imply a deteriorating near-term revenue outlook for both companies."
Steve Liechti of Investec Securities said: "It has always been a dream deal within the sector. There are a lot of synergies between the two." Liechti said both WPP and ACNielsen might be tempted to make a move for TNS.
Many of the research chiefs Research spoke to felt the challenge of integrating the two businesses was a tough one. Ipsos' European CEO Brian Gosschalk said the news was not surprising in the current climate. "The industry looked set for further consolidation – the question was which companies and when," he said. Gosschalk recalled difficulties surrounding the mergers of TNS with NFO and GfK with NOP, saying the combination would require "an awful lot of skilful handling to make it a success".
George Terhanian, president of European operations and global internet research at Harris Interactive agreed that it won't be an easy job. He said: "It's incredibly complicated to put together two companies, especially in geographies where they both have a sizeable presence. Good luck to them."
Terhanian also expressed doubt about the potential benefits, saying: "Time will tell, but I just really struggle to see how this will make the combined companies stronger than the individual ones. From our point of view, rather than having two good companies that we compete against, we'll have one, and I'm not sure it's going to be better."
Richard Gilmore, managing partner at Cello, echoed Terhanian's concerns, saying: "I can't see in whose interest it is. Obviously it makes them bigger, and I dare say there will be some centres geographically where they can overlap and synergise, but I think a lot of clients will be thinking it restricts their choice."
Don Elgie, CEO of Creston, was more positive about the challenges ahead for the two firms. He said: "I think they're just about perfect partners and they've come up with an elegant solution." Elgie added that despite problems when assimilating NFO, TNS has "a good record on acquisitions and bags of experience".
Another senior industry figure questioned the wisdom of combining two Euro-centric firms, saying: "I'm not sure it makes a huge amount of sense – their business will be mostly in Europe, which is the slowest market. Both of these businesses have struggled a lot in the US."

The Almighty Power of the Pill
You can't watch more than ten minutes of television these days without seeing at least one commercial for some kind of prescription pill that promises relief from any variety of conditions. The ads are cheerful, whimsical, annoying, seductive, and sometimes nauseatingly hokey. But they work.
The ads, that is. And they should, given the price tag. Results from a study released this week at York University showed that the U.S. pharmaceutical industry spends approximately "twice as much on promotion as it does on research and development." (The industry denies the estimate.) Big Pharma clearly wants us to believe in the power of their products.

Unfortunately he has missed several places where the "F" word should have been used in place of periods, exclamation marks and all other punctuation. This reduces the impact of the dialect and confirmation of intelligence level of the original poster.
Would he like to try again and write it using the correct "Rig Pig" dialect rules?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
