Learn how to make global level graphic edits without uploading a single JPG.
I. Create Code Based Global Drop Shadows
Coming from a Print Design background, there were several tricks that I learned to make graphics pop. Without these techniques the product pages that I worked on would have been dull, flat and frankly, overwhelming.
Like the stock prices listed in the daily newspaper these ads could have been pure info and rendered in a dull way. With a few tricks, information flows in rows and columns guiding the reader through the spots almost effortlessly. Before they know it they've caught the logo, tagline and product in a few seconds.
Why not use these common techniques from newspaper ads and circulars on web-based work in a broad, code-based way?
The most basic lay-out trick are drop shadows. Catalogs and national auto ads in particular use a lot of drop shadows on their products. It's pretty common for product images online to have these same drop shadows but: can they do it in a timely way when there are thousands of items?
One choice is to add shadows in Photoshop. One by one. This would require a great deal of time, setting up shadows on each layer and then uploading each processed image. There is no ninja-ing here. This task is dry and dull. It is work that no one will ever enjoy doing.
Instead of image processing in this way, we could define some CSS code to apply a shadow to a series of images that we can change globally. This way we can refer to it automatically by using the class tag. Any changes to this class code would effect every shadow that it was applied to w/out uploading a single image.
Figure A. One image displayed with two methods. The first is a flat JPG. The second is a PNG on a transparent background with a CSS3 based drop shadow.
Above, in Figure A, are two images. The first is a JPG on a white background. The second is a PNG with a transparent background. To add a shadow on the JPG we have to adjust several settings in Photoshop to get a drop shadow, save it and upload it. To add a drop shadow under the PNG all we need to do is create a couple <div> elements with settings that will emulate a drop shadow.
Let's start with adding a CSS3 drop shadow to one image and then move into a global solution based on those results.
First, we need to drop a PNG image into a <div>. Next, we set it's stacking order be on the top with a property called "z-index". The lower the z-index number, the lower it's stacking order. This image's stack position will be 2.
Now that our image is in a <div> (Figure B) we need to get it in place. We will add the "float" property in combination with the "position" property. This allows us the ability to move the image <div> where we need it. Float will be set to "left" (float:left;) and position will be set to "relative" (position:relative;) meaning that the <div> will position itself with regard to surrounding divs.
With the image <div> floated, it can be moved around by using top/left/right/bottom properties instead of margin or padding. In this case, we need to state "right:-200px;" to get it into place in the frame. Check that these properties are set by referring to Figure D. below.
Next, add a 200px wide 40px tall <div> directly below it with black as it's background-color. Then, we turn it into a simple shape with CSS3 by adding the following code:
Figure C. This code defines a shape inside of the shadow object. No image is needed.
This creates a black cylinder within the shadow <div>. For cross-browser fucntionality we use -moz for a Firefox specific property, -webkit for Safari and border-radius for Explorer.
The float and position properties for this one are important here. Set the position to "absolute". This setting means that the shadow placement is fixed in place. We will need to adjust it using margin-top and margin-left.
Figure D. Two divs lined up with the shadow underneath of the image.
This cylinder shape is "floating" directly underneath the image. Lastly, this shadow <div> has a z-index of 1. This setting will place the shadow object below the image that it appears to be falling from.
Figure E. The two divs from Figure D are implemented on this page.
II. Refining The Shadow
Now we have an initial drop shadow in place. This black shape represents the total area where the shadow will fall. Time to refine this rough shape with a few tricks.
In Photoshop and Illustrator, we have access to gradients. CSS3 can emulate these gradients with both linear and radial options. Add the following code to the shadow <div> to create a gradient:
This code, written for cross-browser functionality, will create a radial gradient.
The gradient starts in the center of the shadow <div> and moves from dark gray at 50% opacity (rgba(90,90,90,.5) to a light gray at 20% opacity (rgba(190,190,190,.2) and end at white at 10% opacity (rgba(255,255,255,.1).
This gradient works for images on a white background, like our example, but the white value (rgba(255,255,255,.1)) would have to be adjusted for this trick to work on images appearing on a different background color.
At this point, we have the the image and shadow in place. Now, these elements should be encased in a third outer "container" <div> to allow for centering of the product photo. After aligning them inside this "container" the entire three-part element should look like this:
Figure G. Everything as it should look at this point. The image and gradient drop shadow are lined up.
And this is the code for the image above:
That's all the heavy stuff. Now we move onto stream-lining the HTML and CSS. But before we do that we can also...
To use this method with JPG images on white backgrounds, you can reverse the stacking order. This will place the shadow layer on top of the JPG. However, with JPG images on a white background there are potential cross-browser/device alignment issues. Try this method after you've successfully completed this tutorial with this PNG.
OK, now that the script got momentarily flipped we can continue.
As mentioned in the beginning of this tutorial, we need to prep this code to be used on a wide array of images.
The image and shadow portions of the code need to be separated and packed into a CSS document with a class for each. In this way, the code can be referred to repeatedly on each object that needs this type of drop shadow.
Now the solution for one product can be a solution for a group products, helmets in this example. Every <div> that uses the shadow class is edited along with this one piece of CSS. So, when you have it right in one place you have it right in dozens of places as well. The best part is that you never had to edit or upload a single image.
Note that in the CSS for this final example, all of the characteristics for the shadow <div> are defined. In the HTML tab less than 25 characters are used for the shadow. The image element is 25 characters plus the image URL and alt tag. This is handy for SEO guidelines when you have multiple images that need shadows on a page.
Try it out. See what you can come up with. Next time, controlling drop shadows on a <div> in a very different way using the mysterious shadow-box functions.

Where to copy/paste the Verification Codes for Custom Sender Email?Asked by dbasolo on August 07, 2013 at 02:18 PM
As you can see I receive an email that states very clearly to place this verification code into the browser witch you cannot do so more or less it's very confusing!
I have done some research on this and see what it is I am supposed to do but within my account it doesn't give me this as an option there is literally no were for me to ad this code in jotform.
It stated with another issue the sending email address was creating a _com instead of a .com and it had to go to development to be fixed that took a little over a week and now I cant even verify my address this is getting pretty ridicules my entire company is waiting on you guys so that we can use our own email as the sender.
The case link for _com and .com can be found here:
Were I am supposed to place my code can be found here this is what's missing for me and why I can't verify my email:
It would be really nice after waiting so long to actually be able to use my own email now as the sender guys please and thanks.
This is what I found in your support forums however I dont have that option it is completley gone with no way at all for me to verify anything.
I've check one of your form and it seems to be working fine. Please take a look at this video: http://www.screencast.com/t/8mX7KphK1
Thank you!
JotForm Support
Here's a short video that would help you proceed for the Verification Code: http://screencast.com/t/kfrh4qEKO9N
Furthermore, I have forwarded this thread to our developers per your feedback about the instructions in Email Message altogether with the Verification Codes.
ok after watching the video it does work very confusing though I can say perhaps they can ad the link to the email they sent out to the video I just watched and change the verbage a little.

Copyright 2007 Los Angeles Times
All Rights Reserved
Los Angeles Times
March 16, 2007 Friday
Home Edition
By James S. Granelli, Times Staff Writer
From Lexis Nexis
Time Warner Cable Inc. forced out its chief cable guy in Southern California on Wednesday, but you may not want to throw that help number away just yet.
Roger Keating, head of Time Warner's regional office since 2003, was done in by an avalanche of complaints about Internet and e-mail outages, TV channel lineup changes and pressure to sign up for digital service. Customers were most annoyed by maddeningly long -- and sometimes futile -- waits to reach a human by phone.
Keating and his bosses "agreed it was a good time" for him to exit, according to a memo to top managers from Chief Operating Officer Landel Hobbs. Keating will be replaced by two Time Warner executives who Hobbs said had "a different set of leadership skills."
They have a tall order ahead in repairing strained relations with customers and winning back the more than 10,000 people who have canceled their subscriptions since October.
"I've given up calling them," said John Toal of Culver City, who owns a photo business that went 10 days without Internet service last month. "I can't stand staying on hold for an hour and a half."
Once a small player in Southern California, Time Warner Cable ran into big trouble when it began integrating its TV and Internet service operations with properties it acquired last summer from Comcast Corp. and bankrupt Adelphia Communications Inc.
After teaming up with Comcast to buy Adelphia's assets and then swapping some with Comcast, Time Warner Cable, which is a subsidiary of New York-based media conglomerate Time Warner Inc., became the leading cable provider in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area with 1.9 million customers.
Keating was in charge of combining technologies, billing systems, computer servers, programming and Internet and e-mail services.
"It has not gone smoothly," said Aryeh Bourkoff, an analyst with UBS Securities.Some would say that is putting it lightly. Often-furious subscribers overwhelmed Time Warner's five local call centers and swamped city halls throughout the region.
"Their systems got overloaded and people were not able to get through to the company, and we got a lot of complaints," said Marc Jaffee, executive director of a cable authority for Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Westminster and Stanton.
Complaints about cable service in Los Angeles nearly trebled since October to 1,732 from the same period a year earlier, according to figures compiled by the city. Oxnard, Moreno Valley and other cities reported similar huge jumps.
Despite stories of marathon sessions on hold, the average wait time, which hit a high of nine minutes late last year, is now down to five minutes for many billing and technical calls, said Eric Burton, who oversees the company's five customer call centers in Southern California. His aim is to reduce the wait to the early-2006 average of 30 seconds.
Time Warner has made "significant progress," Burton said. The centers, which receive about 1.7 million calls a month, are staffed with 1,650 representatives, and Burton said an additional 250 would be on board in the next month.
"We are absolutely not where we want to be," he said. "But we do feel comfortable that the quality is at a level that we can build on."
The turnaround, though, might not be swift. Company executives have said that they don't expect to stem the loss of subscribers and start rebuilding the customer base until the second half of the year.
Working on that will be Barry Rosenblum, an executive vice president based in New York, who will replace Keating and work out of New York and Los Angeles. Stephen Pagano, former head of Time Warner Cable's Albany, N.Y., division, will move to Los Angeles to handle day-to-day operations.
With its expansion last year, "people got very excited about the growth potential for Time Warner," said Richard Greenfield, an analyst at Pali Research. "But they overestimated how easy it was going to be."
Getting it right is particularly significant in Los Angeles.
"L.A. is a very important market for Time Warner Cable," UBS' Bourkoff said.
The merits of the Comcast and Adelphia deal "will be largely determined by the company's success in L.A.," Bourkoff added. "If Time Warner is going to try to do more deals and pursue consolidation in the cable industry, the precursor is whether the integration is successful -- and the L.A. market is key to that success."
As Time Warner has lost subscribers, rival DirecTV Group Inc., a satellite TV provider, has gained. It saw Los Angeles-area subscriptions rise 10% in the last three months of last year.
"To see that kind of a spike, it was clear we were attracting a lot of agitated Time Warner customers," said Robert Mercer, a spokesman for El Segundo-based DirecTV. "We also knew that because we were getting feedback at our call centers."
For Charles Golvin, who lives near Century City, the answer to his Time Warner problems is AT&T Inc., which is upgrading its network to sell TV and Internet service.
"I'd be very likely to switch because of these experiences with Time Warner customer care," said Golvin, who happens to be a telecommunications industry analyst at Forrester Research Inc.
It could be a year or more before AT&T rolls out that service in his area, giving Time Warner time to repair its reputation and win back customers.
One who needs winning is Travis Arnold of Hermosa Beach, who said he was told he would have to wait five days for service after the cable connection crashed while he and his father were watching a boxing match in February.
After hours on the phone and a fruitless visit to a Time Warner office, Arnold snagged a company worker whose truck he spotted and pleaded for help. The worker found mislabeled connections in a neighborhood junction box.
Jonas M. Grant of Studio City said he had called repeatedly since mid-December to complain about being double-billed and still had not received a refund.
"Time Warner call centers have wait times of 20 to 30 minutes, even during the Super Bowl, when I figured no one would be on the line," he said. "And even at 2 a.m."

rules of jonas society
All the rules of Jonas society are not fair. Because you really can't do anything in the society. You can't choose your own job .the elders have to choose for you. What if you want to choose your own job.or you don't know how to do that job. rules are not fair in Jonas society. And the reason is because you have to sign up to get your child. What if some one wants to have their own child instead of getting some ones else Child's.what if the parents would wont to keep their child instead of giving it away.If you don't follow the rules in Jonas society you get kicked out of your community. Which is not fair because. what if that's were all of your family lives in that one community and your cuzions live their two you'll never be able to see them again. Or that's the only place you can afford to live in. all consequences are not fair. You shouldn't just be kicked out of your community for not following some dump rule. the rules can't be changed in Jonas society once the rules are set they cant be changed. The elders cant even change the rules.

Henry, known as Sid to his family and friends, died of the asbestos cancer earlier in the summer of 2014 after a long period of illness where he was supported by staff at the hospice. At an inquest before the Coroner for West Yorkshire on 28 November 2014, a conclusion was recorded that he had died from an industrial disease. Lawyers at Irwin Mitchell acting on behalf of the family of Sid, secured the substantial award in relation to the costs of his care at the Leeds-based hospice as part of his settlement from Belzona after investigations found he was exposed to asbestos when working on paint mixing in the 1970's. The award on behalf of the hospice follows a landmark ruling in a 2010 case led by Irwin Mitchell which found that the insurers of a company responsible for the death of a worker from asbestos disease should contribute to the care costs of the hospice where the care was provided. Sid's widow Anne said "In just a few short weeks, Sid's life was turned upside down. He was a man who was fit and well who loved to be the life and soul of the party. He loved his music and played the accordion. He became withdrawn and weak and but the staff at St Gemma's provided invaluable support at a time when we needed it most. "We are pleased that Irwin Mitchell was able to recover this money on behalf of St Gemma's so that they can continue the vital work that they do. "This is what Sid would have wanted - he could not have thanked the hospice enough for the support provided to him by the wonderful doctors and nurses." Workplace illness specialists at Irwin Mitchell work closely with St Gemma's Hospice in Leeds, which provides vital care and support for families who have been affected by cancer. They have a specialist team of staff and nurses who are available 24 hours a day for their patients. Expert OpinionIn times where fundraising has become more difficult, I am very proud that we have once again been able to help our clients support the hospices where they received their care at the end of their lives. "Our clients are always very clear that where possible they want to benefit the hospice where they were looked after by excellent carers and we will continue to assist wherever we can." Ian Bailey, Partner Gail Chapman, Fundraising manager at St Gemma's hospice said: "We are extremely grateful to Irwin Mitchell for ensuring that the full costs of the care given by St Gemma's are included in any mesothelioma claim. "All of our care is given free of charge to patients and families but we have to raise the majority of our £9 million annual running costs through donations, legacies, fundraising initiatives and our chain of charity shops. "The substantial contribution made through mesothelioma claims is a valuable contribution and ensures St Gemma's can continue caring for local people with terminal illnesses."

Laurent Quenioux Pops Up at Good Girl Dinette, With Escamoles
Escamole Tacos
Fresh off his stint of "green-friendly" dinners chef Laurent Quenioux will be taking up residence at Highland Park's Good Girl Dinette, serving four dinners between May 7 and May 22. On the menu will be the usual kaleidoscope of bizarro ingredients, which this time will feature escamoles, a type of ant larvae culled from agave plants that's described by some as "insect caviar." Quenioux smuggles them in specially from Mexico, where they are known as a pre-Columbian Aztec delicacy.
Reservations for the five-course, $58 dinner can be made here. The dinners will be strictly BYOB and will include a return of the famous 30-selection LQ@SK cheese cart, home to some of the funkiest selections in town, which can be sampled for an additional supplement.

Watching My Daughter Go Black Jesse Jordan
I have little brat on my hands day and night and it's driven me to drink and overeat. Jesse " Bitch" Jordan is truly her mother's daughter since she pays me no mind. The worst of all of it is that she associates with black guys and is out all hours of the night. Enough was enough and I decided to seek professional help before the stress landed me in a pine box. Dr. Harvard brought us both in for what I thought would lead us on the road to a beneficial relationship. I was wrong. He quickly took the little brat's side and even suggested that having me watch her have relations with a black man would be the first step to understanding her. I declined but finally accepted when I realized I might lose her. Jesse put that nasty black man's dick in her mouth as my heart started racing. If that wasn't bad enough she soon became limber so she could have sex with that evil evil black guy. Now I'm strating to regret having her take gymnastics as a little girl.

Solar Cooked Irish Soda Bread
Recipe by SunshineCooking
This was inspired by the traditional Irish soda bread. Please watch how we prepared it on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs0B0_hdVFw&feature=channel_page
Top Review by base_form_one
I used this recipe for the maiden voyage of my solar windshield shade cooker. This is a perfect beginner recipe. It took me 5 minutes to prepare and turned out beautifully with great flavor. It didn't brown much and took longer than expected, but I expect that was due to my inexperience. (I also did not watch the YouTube video.)
When the bread was finished, my cooker peaked at 225 degrees at 2:30 in the afternoon, outside temperature 95 degrees.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups bread flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1⁄4 cups plain yogurt
- 2 teaspoons water
Directions See How It's Made
- Combine flour, salt, and baking soda in a bowl.
- Add about 1 cup of yogurt into the flour mixture and stir together.

Directed by the maniacal Regent, the enemy pressed forward with one goal - the destruction of mankind.
The Superpowers of Earth, enemies for over a century, have banded together to face the threat from outside, and their combined forces have fought, delaying actions to buy time. But now the Rim has fallen, and the heart of human space lies before the invaders.
On three worlds, mankind will make its stand, and all the power Earth and its colonies can muster has been gathered there. Three worlds - Sandoval, Garrison, and Samvar. The Line.
Erik Cain grimly leads his Marines and their new allies to Sandoval, to fight and to hold that world against anything the enemy throws at it. But Cain plans more than just a defense; he intends to annihilate the enemy forces...and he'll sacrifice anything to win the ultimate victory. Even himself.

J Bower needs to learn third grade pronunciation
No. Jeff Bower makes the audio version obnoxious. I only keep buying the series because it's good enough to offset Jeff.
His voices, inability to pronounce normal words, random swapping of words that rhyme with the word Jay Allen actually wrote. Females all sound like three year olds, the asian voices are downright racist.
Dear Jeff Bower,The rank of Ensign is pronounced En-Sin. It is not pronounced Enzen. Also, stop trying to do voices, you are only able to do offensive stereotypes. 1940s cartoons handled asian voices with less racism.

Still good after all these books

Your Acura dealership isn't the only place to buy trusted repair parts to fix your TSX. Make no mistake, you didn't buy your TSX unless you understood you would be getting best-in-class service and dependability both impeccably combined into one car, truck, or SUV. You bought your TSX because its a reputation for safety and Japanese engineering struck a chord inside you; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to superior quality auto parts? The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs these days.
The stability of your Acura TSX relies on a well-built suspension. The main component responsible for controlled handling is a good control arm. All modern vehicles have independent front suspension, which means that control arms allow for separate up and down movements for each wheel. Now that beam axles are gone, so are king pins. So your Acura TSX control arms have ball joints that allow the steering knuckle to pivot.
When your Acura needs a new replacement Control Arm, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Bring your TSX back to life with the highest quality replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make purchasing it easy. All the Acura TSX Control Arm parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004. Choose your year below to refine your search.

Clearinghouse of ideas to fight abuse
Wed., April 30, 2008
Spokane agencies seeking solutions to child abuse and neglect have designated the Spokane County Community Network as the organization that will track ideas and proposals to address the problem.
Leaders in education, social services, juvenile justice and other fields came to that consensus following the "From Hurt to Hope: Discovering Universal Approaches to Strengthening Supportive Learning Environments and Resilience" conference, held April 22 and 23 at the Spokane Convention Center.
The Spokane network, like many others statewide, was created by and receives funding from the state's Family Policy Council, and is charged with capturing citizen participation to tackle societal problems like child abuse and neglect.
"There is forward movement and there is energy like I haven't seen in a long time," said Spokane network coordinator Roy Harrington. "There is a way to harness this; we have to figure out how." However, he added: "It's way preliminary at this point to say what's going to be happening. I hope there's a number of 'whats'. "
Harrington said there's renewed interest among people in joining the network, which will meet in a couple of weeks. He and others stressed that leaders in fields such as education, juvenile justice and social services also will take what they learned from the conference and work toward solutions within their own systems.
"It wasn't an action plan adopted, it was a process adopted," said Sally Pritchard, community impact manager with Spokane County United Way. The network "is one way to link all these different groups trying to work within specific systems."
Progress continues to be made, said Mary Ann Murphy, executive director of Partners with Families and Children: Spokane, pointing to two grants Spokane programs recently received to address obstacles to children's success.
Spokane Juvenile Court won a $125,000 grant from the MacArthur Foundation to address juvenile justice reform. And, as reported in The Spokesman-Review, Contract-Based Education, the West Valley School District's alternative school, received $330,000 over two years to form a network among agencies that work with children, from police to mental-health counselors. School officials hope the collaboration will lead to new approaches to dropout prevention.
In addition, conference participants are "going to have a wider vision," Murphy said.
Harrington said the consensus among attendees – the majority of whom were local – is that Spokane needs to assume local responsibility and leadership over the issues of neglect and abuse. But solutions will only come from "dozens of conversations that stay connected," he said.
"People were saying … we have to do something, we have to figure this out for our community," he said. "We will begin to see pockets of activity in the school districts. We've already seen pockets of activity in early-learning environments.
"There's a way in which this does become a community problem," Harrington said. "No single entity can take care of the problem. The network would … be the home for continued discussion and a continual process of … pulling systems together around what we're going to do."

The capacious superyacht CLELIA is a motor yacht. This 45 m (147 ft) luxury yacht was constructed by Nv Scheepswerf Kerstholt in 1957.

This graceful motor yacht has been designed from the naval architecture of W.J.C. Beck.
The yacht's general design work came from WJC Beck. The professional naval architect firm plans are the creation of WJC Beck. In 1957 she was actually launched with accolade in Groningen and following sea trials and finishing touches was afterwards handed over to the owner who commissioned her. Nv Scheepswerf Kerstholt completed their new build motor yacht in the Netherlands. The hull was constructed with steel. The motor yacht superstructure is fabricated predominantly using steel. With a width of 6.52 m or 21.4 ft CLELIA has reasonable size. A reasonably shallow draught of 2.5m (8.2ft) selects the list of overall harbours she can berth in, contingent on their individual depth.

This yachtâs industrious cruise speed is 14 knots which offers a range of 2200.
Bestowing room for a maximum of 15 visiting passengers staying on board, the CLELIA accommodates them comfortably. The boat utilises approximately 10 able crewmembers to run.

News in that a Pakistani anti-corruption crusader has been found hanged in an apparent suicide.
|Karman Faisal
One of many, after the last few weeks, and one of many more, over the last few decades.
Isn't it convenient to those who want to suppress and enslave our lives, that so many people commit suicide at such convenient times in their lives.
Starting with the most recent, Kamran Faisal, who was investigating claims that the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Raja Pervaiz was taking brides.
My condolences to Faisal's father who insists his son had "strong nerves" and would never have killed himself.
Kamran Faisal said himself, "I told the court that my life was in danger and if I died an unnatural death the [officials I was investigating] would be responsible for my death."
This follows hot-on-the-heels of the internet activist Aaron Swartz's apparent suicide at the tender age of 26.
|Aaron Swartz
With his whole life ahead of him, he helped create an early version of RSS and later played a key role in stopping a controversial online piracy bill in Congress.
Police found Swartz's body hanging in his Brooklyn apartment.
Again, a Convenient Suicide...
December 2012 saw the suicide of Nurse Jacintha Saldanha, who was working on reception when Australian DJs made the infamous prank call, pretending to be the Queen calling for Katy, the Duchess of Cambridge.
|Jacintha Salenha
I seem to be repeating myself, oh what a 'Convenient Suicide', because her death has ensured no one will 'Prank' with the Royals again.
Lets delve deeper....
The most controversial suicide of recent times has got to be the renowned scientist and family man, Doctor David Kelly.
I'm not going to rake over old ground, but there is one indisputable truth. His suicide was very convenient to the Blair/Campbell government in hiding the truth of Iraq's non-existent weapons of mass destruction.
|Dr David Kelly
But don't be fooled. They haven't always used suicide as their prefered choice. Once upon a time they used a more unorthodox approach, which, though bizzarre, achieved the same result.
Take the unfortunate Member of Parliament for Eastleigh, who many tipped as a future Prime Minsiter, Stephen Milligan. He held an enviable reputation in the world of journalism, having once been the financial/business editor with the New York Economist and for then BBC.
|Stephen Milligan MP
He won his Eastleigh constituency on his first attempt, but had his reputation posthumously dragged through the mud, following his apparent accidental death due to autoasphyxiation.
He died in what would appear to be the most embarrassing way ever; semi-nude, wearing stockings and suspenders with a bin bag over his head, an electric flex round his neck and an orange in his mouth.
So unbecoming of a man who was engaged to Julie Kirkbride, at the time a political correspondent with the Sunday Telegraph and later a Tory MP at Bromsgrove in the Midlands. In his last interview before his death, he spoke of his desire to settling down and starting a family.
What many people are encouraged to forget is that he was the Parliamentary Personal Secretary to the notorious arms dealer, Jonathan Aitken, then a minister in the Tory government. Aitken, was known to have an particular interest in Sado-Masochistic sex - Milligan wasn't.
He was known as a man who would not be quieted or made to follow a political line that might have fallen outside of his personal beliefs. Let's reiterate, Mr Milligan had many years of journalistic integrity behind him and was certainly no man's fool. Did he overhear something in closed circles, or did he speak out about something he knew in similar closed circles? Was his death an accident, or was it murder most foul, engineered in such a way as to besmirch the name of the victim from the onset and make it look like a bizarre sex ritual had resulted in death?
A lesser known personality, James Rusbridger, who was an ex-M16 agent and respected investigative journalist specialising in intelligence matters, also died in the same month as Stephen Milligan.
He was found hanging from a beam in his loft at his house in Bodmin Moor, Cornwall in February 1994, in an apparent suicide.
When his body was discovered, he was dressed in a green protective suit for use in nuclear, biological or chemical warfare, green overalls, a black plastic mackintosh and thick rubber gloves. His face was covered by a gas mask and he was also wearing a sou'wester. His body was suspended from two ropes, attached to shackles fastened to a piece of wood across the open loft hatch, and was surrounded by pictures of men and mainly black women in bondage.
Oh how convenient for the Royal Family, especially as it was reported shortly before his death that he had started work on a controversial book about the Windsor's.
|Saxe-Coburg-Gotha Royal Family aka The Windsor Royal Family
The text of the book has never been released, and there were various discrepancies and strange events connected to his death that were reported at the time but have never been fully explained - such as journalists being followed to his house by unmarked cars. He was infamous for writing letters to newspapers which poured scorn on the Official Secrets Act; his books, such as The Intelligence Game, cast doubt on the official version of events. Just before his death, he unearthed Britain's code-cracking secrets, in particular the story that the British had cracked Japanese naval codes in advance of the attack on Pearl Harbour.
The more you dig, the mirkier it gets.
And then we come to the infamous mass killer, Fred West. Another apparent suicide which the population welcomed, hook-line-and-sinker.
|Fred West
Even though he was designated a "vulnerable" prisoner after a psychiatric assessment, he still found the time and means to end his life, when he should have been under 24 hour surveillance.
Convenient because its commonly believed by many researchers that Fred West supplied local sex rings with their girls. Satanic connections were found on his victims, evident with certain finger and toe bones missing, which is conclusive with satanic rituals.
It goes without saying the convenience of his suicide, compared to a sensational trial, which God knows what would have been brought up, was greatly appreciated by the afore-mentioned sex rings which he supplied.
Coming to the end and without delving deeper into the old favourite suicides throughout history such as Marilyn Munro's, Hitlers and going back further to even Judas's, I'll leave you with a gem.
The convenient suicide, by a gunshot to the head, of a Texan woman in 2003 called Margie Schoedinger.
|Margie Schoedinger
Exclusively reported by the New Nation newspaper, she filed a lawsuit against President George Bush, accusing him of a series of sex crimes against her and her husband.
In an amazing seven page document filed at Fort bent County Court in Texas, she claimed Bush abducted, raped and beat her. (Its not clear whether the President was ever served with her suit.)
What's more amazing is that shortly before her 'convenience suicide', American journalist Jackson Thoreau reported that Schoedinger had rung him saying that Bush wanted her dead, but could trust no one to carry out the crime.
Oh so convenient that she should end up with a hole in her head....
Am I making the inference that George Bush did it, fuck yeah.....
Convenient Suicide, my arse.........

Although the install and import instructions are written clearly, I have this problem.
I created an empty new db using phpMyAdmin first. "NewDB"
Then instaled XenForo, using the name of the new db.
No problems there.
I created another database, named it "OldDB",
then imported that database from a previous forum installation (XenForo db as well, that was the whole point of purchasing XenForo anyway), using the phpMyAdmin import feature.
I get this "The table prefix or database name is not correct" error, after trying Import External Data icon.
When I look at the table structures, I see no problems with prefixes. Both goes "xf_addon" and so on.
Maybe because I am new to these kind of stuff, I feel lost.
I need to understand more about this "data" and "internal_data" folders, maybe.
What else this importer is looking at?
"The data to be entered in the configuration screen is related to the database you are importing from."
I totally get that, but isn't it supposed to be a database existing on the same phpMyAdmin installation? OldDB > NewDB from the same phpMyAdmin, I mean.
I am using the same phpMyAdmin user and password for both databases.
Please help.

Does she have a DVD with her chocolate fondant recipe on it? Which DVD from her site do I purchase for that info? Having an awful time with Satin Ice lately. I hear that her fondant recipe not only taste good but is very workable. Tired of elephant skin and tearing! Thanks!
Yes, the chocolate fondant recipe is on her fondant DVD. Personally I recommend getting both the fondant DVD and the fondant frills. You won't go wrong!
Her recipes are on all of her DVD's. And each one of them is well worth the money. I love her pearl clay recipe also!! If you have any questions - she is super easy to get ahold of and will do all she can to help you out too. One of the best to order from!
Jen's DVD's are wonderful & she has a lot of 'cake toys' for sale. She doesn't rip you off with shipping & the orders arrive really fast. She is an amazing person.
Awww, you all are SO nice, thank you!!!!
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. I'm happy to try and help.
I just got mine yesterday and already watched them! They're awesome and I'm so glad I got them. I got the easy and tasty way to perfect fondant and the fondant frills DVD's.
The recipe is on the Tasty Fondant DVD
I live in Ontario, Canada and the DVD's arrived within a week of ordering even over the Xmas holiday and a sweet little note thanking me for my order.
cakenovice, since you got both DVDs, if you had to choose one which one would you recommend? I can fight my way around fondant, meaning i can cover and make decorations, not the best but i manage. I have been dying to buy one of her DVDs. which one would you recommend? is the first too basic?
I have all three of her DVD's and I am a Jennifer fan also. Her chocolate fondant recipe is great - more expensive than some but it's an excellent recipe.
Just to clarify, the semi-homemade white chocolate fondant recipe is on both the Tasty Fondant DVD and the Fondant Frills DVD. It's only in the menu/recipe section on the Frills DVD. Tasty Fondant shows step by step how to make the fondant, and the Frills DVD shows step by step how to make pearl clay, plus lots of other good stuff
ok, so buy both?
I would!
cool thank !!!
I would get both but if I had to choose only just one, I'd pick the fondant frills. I'm planning on getting her other DVD's because I was pretty impressed with these ones. Very easy to follow
ok Jen, get ready for me!
I just got the Frill DVD. Jennifer is so nice! I cannot wait to get started.
Okay, so what is pearl clay? Is it a gumpaste recipe?
No, pearl clay is a chocolate/fondant recipe that is used by Jen and others (me) to do fondant "frills" on the cake. For example, I use it for pressed lace and small flowers, etc. I swear by the stuff. The recipe is on I believe her Fondant Frills DVD.
I guess it's different from her chocolate/fondant recipe? I only have the DVD on covering the cake in fondant.
I hope this is ok for me to answer (don't want to break any CC rules)
Yes, the pearl clay is different than the semi-homemade white chocolate fondant. I use pearl clay to make all my pearls, side ribbons, pressed lace and more. It's a very leatherlike/stiff product, but is almost all chocolate. It's also different than modeling chocolate.
If I can help more, feel free to PM me.
I'm still a little confused. I want to buy the dvd that has the chocolate fondant recipe on it. I see everyone talking about pearl clay also and that that recipe is on a separate dvd. Do I need the pearl clay recipe to make the chocolate fondant? Do I need both dvds to learn how to make Jennifer's semi-homemade chocolate fondant that hear raves about? Exactly what dvd do I need?
Thanks! (can't wait to buy the correct dvd!)
The chocolate fondant recipe is on the Perfect Fondant DVD. The Pearl Clay recipe is on the Fondant Frills DVD.
all of her dvd's are wonderful. the fondant is delicious , the pearl clay is wonderful .the flower on was great. you will love them all.
Thanks ya'll! I think I've figured out, with all of ya'lls help, that I will be purchasing her "Perfect Fondant" dvd so that I can make the semi-homemade chocolate fondant that I hear everyone talking about! After the first dvd I'm sure I'll buy more... one thing at a time
Hi -
The chocolate fondant recipe is in the menu section only in the Fondant Frills DVD. The pearl clay is shown step by step.
On the Tasty Fondant DVD, the chocolate fondant is shown step by step.
If you click on the DVD, on the site, you will go to an information page where you can read more about each. If I can help more, let me know please.
I would just like to confirm what everybody else says about Jennifer's DvD's. They are all amazing and her fondant and pearl clay taste wonderful. I was so scared when I used her fondant on a wedding cake
(for the first time.. never time to practise) but she patiently answered all my questions and was SO encouraging that it came out beautifully. Actually much easier to work with than ordinary fondant.
Her lace moulds are beautiful and really look stunning.
She really is one amazing, talented, kind person!
Thank you for your kind words latebloomer I'm here to help if you have any questions at all.
Have a nice weekend.

My Rating: [usr 3.5]
Call the latest entry to the Rocky series a spin-off or a direct sequel, or both, but also call Creed the best entry to the franchise since the 1976 original.
Ok Sly, we can officially forgive you for 1990's Rocky V. Since that unfortunate mishap, Stallone took the series back to the basics that made the original a classic. In doing so, Stallone has allowed 29 year old filmmaker Ryan Coogler and star Michael B. Jordan to take the reigns into a whole different direction; focusing on Adonis Johnson Creed – Apollo's son – with Stallone reprising Rocky Balboa in a supporting role. This has given the series both an opportunity to stretch the boxer's legend in exciting new paths whilst remaining worthy to its classic predecessors' origins.
One can only hope that the newest Star Wars film will also benefit from it's creator handing off control of his beloved franchise to exciting and stimulating young filmmakers and actors; but that's for another time. Creed in many ways legitimizes the Rocky franchise, which started to get sillier and sillier throughout the 80's, culminating in the disaster that was Rocky V.
I'm a big fan of the up and coming 28 year-old actor Michael B. Jordan ever since his star making turn in Fruitvale Station, also helmed by Creed director Ryan Coogler. It can equally be said that Coogler is on the way up as well, as Creed validates Coogler as more than just a one hit film wonder.
For Sylvester Stallone, this film is kind of a revelation. I know it's weird to be saying that considering this is the seventh time he's played Rocky, but I was still kind of shocked by how great he is in this film. Indeed, this is Stallone's best performance since 1997's Copland, and is comparable to his performance in the 1976 original, which earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. I endorse, and would totally get behind an effort to get Stallone a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his work in Creed.
Quite minor criticisms of the film, perhaps, include sort of halfway giving us a villain, much like Rocky Balboa does, as well as semi-rushing through a narrative beat that, of course, is meant to pay tribute to the original Rocky, but give credit to Coogler for still keeping things familiarly fresh. One could look at those criticisms as this film merely trying to get from point A to B via differently than the older Rocky's. It's kind of weird that a film this grounded in reality, references Rocky III and Rocky IV, two films that took the series into way more ridiculous terrain. Nonetheless, that shouldn't be dwelled on too much.
If I were to rank Creed amongst all the Rocky films, I would put it at number 2, right behind the original.

Great piece
This chair has quite a presence in a room and everyone loves it when they come over. However, sometimes when sat in, the cushion doubles over a bit on itself and looks a little cheap.

More than 95 per cent of new-build homes sold in June in London were leasehold, according to the Land Registry. This means that despite the fortune you have paid for it, your new flat or maisonette is almost certainly standing on rented ground.
For this privilege you are likely to have to pay an annual fee, known as ground rent, and monthly service charges. Neither is fixed and both may rise substantially over time. Also, from the moment you get the keys, your right to remain in your home starts ticking down. At some point, you either need to renegotiate the length of your lease, or watch the value of your property substantially diminish.
There are two types of legal property ownership in the UK: freehold and leasehold. If you own the freehold, then you own your home outright. You own the property and the land it sits on, in perpetuity.
Leaseholders aren't as lucky. Despite "buying" the property, they have really only leased it from the freeholder — called the landlord — for the period of the lease. Once the lease ends, the property reverts to the freeholder. This is part of the reason why you need the freeholder's permission to make significant alterations.

The prevalence of leasehold properties among London new builds isn't new. Land Registry data shows 98 per cent sold in 2010 were registered as leaseholds, very similar to the latest figures. This contrasts sharply with the national picture, where only 43 per cent of new builds registered in England and Wales last year were leaseholds.
To an extent the difference reflects London's lack of space. New-build flats, piled on top of each other, are much cheaper than new-build houses standing in their own grounds. For London buyers, finding a new home usually boils down to choosing between one flat scheme or another. For developers, building leasehold flats has many advantages. In additon to selling the flats, they also produce new income streams, from ground rent and charges.
Annual ground rent payments have a lot of similarities with bond interest payments. This makes them attractive to life assurance companies, pension funds and private investors. In many cases, these investors will be willing to buy the promise of future ground rent payments before the block is finished. This private sector cash can help ensure the development's completion, easing London's housing shortage.
Annual service charges are more contentious, as minimal regulation allows room for exploitation. Consequently, complaints about unfair charges are frequent.
Another problem is the length of the lease. New-build leases start at about 99 years with some as long as 999 years. With UK average life expectancy lower than all of these at 81.5 years, you may wonder "why all the fuss?"
The issue is that most banks and building societies won't lend on a property with a lease of less than 75 years. This makes it hard to re-mortgage or for a prospective buyer to obtain the finance to buy the property. Once you enter the realm of only selling to cash buyers, the price can tumble quickly.
This makes it increasingly costly to extend the lease once it has fallen below 80 years. For new-build properties with a 99-year lease, it isn't long before these issues start to bite. If you bought a new-build property in the Eighties with a 99-year lease, you could be facing these problems now.
Fortunately for Londoners, many of the new builds shooting up now have ultra-long leases. Galliard Homes says its properties are "usually" offered with a 999-year lease. Similarly, Taylor Wimpey's latest developments have either 250-year or 999-year lease. This is not always the case, so make sure you check out the lease length remaining on resale homes.
Shared-ownership properties are the other exception. New-builds now tend to come with 125-year leases. Should you want to extend that in the future, you may need to pay a fee that exceeds your percentage holding.

In the various roles he has undertaken through the years, Val J. Halamandaris has been a singular driving force behind the policy and program initiatives resulting in the recognition of home health care as a viable alternative to institutionalization. His dedication to consumer advocacy, which enhances the quality of life and dignity of those receiving home health care, merits VNA HealthCare Group's highest recognition and deepest respect.
- VNA HealthCare Group
I have the highest respect for them, especially for the nurses, aides and therapists, who devote their lives to caring for people with disabilities, the infirm and dying Americans. There are few more noble professions.
- President Barack Obama
Home health care agencies do such a wonderful job in this country helping people to be able to remain at home and allowing them to receive services
- U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) Chair, Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee
Home care is a combination of compassion and efficiency. It is less expensive than institutional care...but at the same time it is a more caring, human, intimate experience, and therefore it has a greater human element...it's a big mistake not to try to maximize it and find ways to give people the home care option over either nursing homes, hospitals or other institutions
- Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich (R-GA)
Medicaid covers long-term care, but only for low-income families. And Medicare only pays for care that is connected to a hospital discharge....our health care system must cover these vital services...[and] we should promote home-based care, which most people prefer, instead of the institutional care that we emphasize now.
- Former U.S. Senator Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-CD)
We need incentives to...keep people in home health care settings...It's dramatically less expensive than long term care.
- U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ)
Home care is clearly the wave of the future. It's clearly where patients want to be cared for. I come from an ethnic family and when a member of our family is severely ill, we would never consider taking them to get institutional care. That's true of many families for both cultural and financial reasons. If patients have a choice of where they want to be cared for, where it's done the right way, they choose home.
- Donna Shalala, former Secretary of Health and Human Services
A couple of years ago, I spent a little bit of time with the National Association for Home Care & Hospice and its president, Val J. Halamandaris, and I was just blown away. What impressed me so much was that they talked about what they do as opposed to just the strategies of how to deal with Washington or Sacramento or Albany or whatever the case may be. Val is a fanatic about care, and it comes through in every way known to mankind. It comes through in the speakers he invites to their events; it comes through in all the stuff he shares.
- Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence
Val's home care organization brings thousands of caregivers together into a dynamic organization that provides them with valuable resources and tools to be even better in their important work. He helps them build self-esteem, which leads to self-motivation.
- Mike Vance, former Dean of Disney and author of Think Out of the Box
Val is one of the greatest advocates for seniors in America. He goes beyond the call of duty every time.
- Arthur S. Flemming, former Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare
Val has brought the problems, the challenges, and the opportunities out in the open for everyone to look at. He is a visionary pointing the direction for us.
- Margaret (Peg) Cushman, Professor of Nursing and former President of the Visiting Nurses Association
Although Val has chosen to stay in the background, he deserves much of the credit for what was accomplished both at the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, where he was closely associated with me and at the House Select Committee on Aging, where he was Congressman Claude Pepper's senior counsel and closest advisor. He put together more hearings on the subject of aging, wrote more reports, drafted more bills, and had more influence on the direction of events than anyone before him or since.
- Frank E. Moss, former U.S. Senator
Val's most important contribution is pulling together all elements of home health care and being able to organize and energize the people involved in the industry.
Anyone working on health care issues in Congress knows the name Val J. Halamandaris.
- Kathleen Gardner Cravedi, former Staff Director of the House Select Committee on Aging
Without your untiring support and active participation, the voices of people advocating meaningful and compassionate health care reform may not have been heard by national leaders.
- Michael Sullivan, Former Executive Director, Indiana Association for Home Care
All of us have been members of many organizations and NAHC is simply the best there is. NAHC aspires to excellence in every respect; its staff has been repeatedly honored as the best in Washington; the organization lives by the highest values and has demonstrated a passionate interest in the well-being of patients and providers.
- Elaine Stephens, Director of Home Care of Steward Home Care/Steward Health Systems and former NAHC C
Home care increasingly is one of the basic building blocks in the developing system of long-term care. On both economic and recuperative bases, home health care will continue to grow as an essential service for individuals, for families and for the community as a whole.
- Former U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME)
NCOA is excited to be part of this great event and honored to have such influential award winners in the field of aging.
- National Council of Aging
Health care at home…is something we need more of, not less of. Let us make a commitment to preventive and long-term care. Let us encourage home care as an alternative to nursing homes and give folks a little help to have their parents there.
- Former President Bill Clinton
The National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) held its 2016 Private Duty Home Care Conference in Charleston, South Carolina, on February 1-2, 2016. NAHC Report will be providing coverage of some of the highlights from the conference.
Angelo Spinola of Littler Mendelson P.C. in Atlanta, Georgia, gave a presentation at the Private Duty Home Care Conference that explored the ins and outs of private duty home care compliance. "The burden you have as an employer is significantly higher than in any other area of labor employment law," he acknowledged.
"The lawsuits come, and agencies start becoming compliant," Mr. Spinola said. "We need to break this cycle and start developing compliance programs now."
One of the key points Mr. Spinola stressed is how agencies define "work" and how hours are coded. "You have to have a compensation agreement with your employees that outlines the different payment structures for different types of work. It has to be clear in your policy." Mr. Spinola discussed the regular rate, how to calculate it, when it applies, and how you use it to determine overtime payments. "You and your agency have to be responsible for keeping track of wages and hours. Let's take a look at where the holes might be in your compliance program," he suggested. One of those holes could be the rounding up or down of minutes worked. "The problem with rounding is that you analyze the impact, not the rule," he explained, "and the impact almost always favors the employee, which means the employee will deserve more money." Better to be neutral, Mr. Spinola urged. "The way you deal with rounding is pay to the minute – don't round."
On the topic of time on the road, Mr. Spinola reiterated, "You cannot substitute mileage for travel," and encouraged owners to review their particular state laws. "How would you recommend using electronic verification to track employee mileage?" someone asked. "Have the paper backup certified by the employee. Or utilize some other system and have an employee sign off on it at the end of the week," Mr. Spinola counseled. At the very least, he suggested, it's important to have something on a pay stub that says the caregiver is responsible for reporting discrepancies in a certain period of time.
Mr. Spinola also spoke with regards to meal periods and sleep time for live-in situations. "Federal law does not require you to give employees a meal period. However, many states do." Mr. Spinola encouraged agency owners to operate accordingly with their states. "How can you keep track of employees taking their meal periods?" It's critical that agencies be able to prove how employees spent their time.
Beyond documenting and recordkeeping, Mr. Spinola advocated for arbitration agreements with staff and clients, as well as an internal process ahead of the arbitration. "Arbitration programs can make it so that you're protected from class actions… A lawsuit will not be filed against you if your employees believe they have an internal mechanism that gives them a voice."
