Frequently Asked Questions
Website Pre-Sales
Sure, we'd love you to visit some of the sites we've built for our other clients, check out our Portfolio.
The Drupal CMS is a completely modular system therefore we have an add-on for pretty much anything you may require. The most popular modules are:
- eCommerce
- Extra pages
- Calendars
- Photo Galleries
- Blogs
- Newsletter integration
- Forum
- Polls
- Live Chat
- Social Media integration
We have loads of other modules available. Please contact us if what you require is not on this list. Many of our clients start off with a five page website and then add to it as their business grows.
Our web design packages prices start from just £799+ VAT for our small business website package. That includes your web design, development and SEO.
You new website will be installed with Google Analytics as standard. You will receive your website analytics report either on a weekly or a monthly basis and it will show you a whole array of information such as how much traffic is coming to your website, where it is coming from, and what search terms are being used etc.
eCommerce website clients have a full reporting suite for their online shop.
Yes - within reason. Obviously the domain has to be available! We do not accept any sexually explicit, racist, terrorist or offending domain names.
The domain will be owned by Cariad Marketing whilst we are supporting and managing the site as this enables us to do all of the back-end stuff to ensure optimal performance. Should you wish to terminate your contract after the first year, the domain will be transferred free of charge to you for .co.uk's. There will be a small charge to transfer any other domains as we would be charged for this. The transfer charge will be made at cost price from our Domain Supplier.
Sure. We have a graphic design service available and are keen to help you with your branding requirements. Contact us for a quote.
We will take the time to understand exactly what you want from the website and carefully go through what you like and dislike to produce the right design for you. Every website that we design is unique - and never goes live until the client is 100% happy with the design.
We will help you with the text however you will need to come up with the majority of the copy yourself. We will review all of the content as part of our SEO review before the site goes live and optimise your website for the search engines. Alternatively, if copywriting is not your 'thing', we can provide a professional copywriter to write the website content for you, at an additional cost. Just ask for details.
Yes - most of it. Each website comes with a Drupal CMS (content management system). This means you can edit the text on the pages as often as like and change things like special offers, photos, prices etc. You will be given full training on the use of the Drupal CMS (content management system) - it is very simple just like using Microsoft Word or PowerPoint
Whilst you can amend the text and photos yourself through your Drupal CMS (content mangement system), changes to the colours and logo will need to be made by the Cariad Marketing team.
Yes, we can produce Flash graphics for you, however we do always advise that use of Flash does inhibit certain aspects of SEO. We have a range of great alternatives which look the same, yet do not create the SEO challenges. Please contact us for a quote.
The website is hosted on our dedicated virtual server via Rackspace which is the UK's leading business hosting supplier.
Yes. Your website will be submitted to all the major search engines and when we build the site we pay particular attention to ensuring that all aspects of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) are considered. We will run checks on a monthly basis to see if the SEO can be improved. We also review the website copy before it goes live to ensure that the copy will help drive traffic to your website and we make any minor copy amendments that will help SEO.
Generally speaking your website will be launched within four-six weeks from receipt of a signed purchase order and payment, providing all necessary content and information have been supplied.
If you need your new website quicker, we do offer an Express Service - details on request.
After your website has been live for a year, you are provided with a range of service options from year two and beyond. These range from hosting only through to fully serviced, fully managed options.
No one can guarantee the number one spot on the first page of Google, and always bear in mind what you want to be number one for. There are many different keywords to choose from and you need to think about which ones your target market are likely to use. Also the search engines algorithms change regularly so you may find yourself on page one one day but not the next.
If you have a well constructed search engine friendly website, keep it well maintained and updated, and create good quality backlinks from across the internet - then you will have the best possible chance of getting and keeping a good page ranking.
Adding back-links to the website will be down to you. However we will provide you with suggestions to get you started.
A back-link is a link from website to another. Search engines see these as votes of confidence that your website is a good site. Therefore the more back-links you have the better. However beware of buying hundreds of back-links as you cannot be certain of where these have come from. You do not want to be connected to blacklisted or suspect sites as this could impact your ranking within the search engines. It is better to add backlinks gradually over a period of time and to go for quality over quantity. A good social media strategy will help enhance your back-links.
Of course - in several different ways. We promote all of the Cariad Marketing clients via our own social media channels at least once a month - however most companies would benefit from having their own broadcasts. We can provide one2one social media training on how to get started with social media; to to optimise your profile; how to make the most out of your broadcasts and acheiving good coverage of your target market and much more. Contact us for details.
We also provides loads of other online marketing services to ensure your website is a success, including:-
Website Design & Production Process
You have two options. You can either provide us with images that you already own or alternatively we can source and purchase images and graphics for you - the choice is yours. Our minimum order is £25 + VAT for 4 images, sourced and purchasd for royalty free usage online (low-res).
In addition we can provide high res images and graphics, however the cost for this is dependent on image and therefore each quote is different - contact us for details.
Of course. You will be sent a test link to your website before it goes live so you can make any amendments. Once the website is live you will be able to make amendments to the copy yourself.
Website Technical Terms
A sitemap is a page that lists the all of the pages and their structure. This is submitted to the search engines so they know what pages need to be indexed and the hierachy of the structure. All websites built by Cariad Marketing have an xml sitemap as standard, because it means the search engines (Google in particular) can index all of the pages more efficiently.
A robots file is a list of any pages that you do not want the search engines to see and index.

A 16-year-old girl is thankful to be alive and at home with her parents after a frightening experience involving a coyote near her Johns Creek home.Bill DeMartino says his daughter was out for a late-night jog with her dog when she ran into a wild coyote roaming through the neighborhood. He says at first, his daughter thought the animal looked like a German Shepherd, but it had no collar on. Then, the animal started running after her and her dog, Calvin. DeMartino says the coyote wrestled with the dog, and as they struggled, the teenager took out her cell phone and hit the coyote with it on the head. Then, she ran to a neighbor's house for help.Luckily, neither the girl nor her dog were hurt. DeMartino says he went to pick up his daughter, and the coyote approached their car. "I kid you not, it was like a movie," he recalled. DeMartino says he thanks God that his daughter is okay, and he wants others to know about the close encounter. He says from now on, his daughter won't be running at night.

"Monti's cask-aged 2006 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a gem. A soft, seamless red, the wine flows from the glass with masses of fruit in a sumptuous, elegant style.

Keystone takes on Nokia IP head in 10-strong hiring spree
Readers' comments (7)
This is misleading reporting. I doubt very much that Keystone goes on "hiring sprees". It is a very good home for lawyers who are no longer wanted at their firms or who, for one reason or other, find that general practice does not suit them. I doubt many of them have been approached by or on behalf of Keystone.
And "hiring" indicates a financial committment by Keystone. Lawyers are retained on a commission only basis so it is a true-eat-what-you-kill model, albeit that it is a very good model for those involved and for their clients
Eat what you kill is frankly a good model. There is a whole raft of non-performing partners at firms who sit at their desk like junior assistants waiting for work and who are kept on because some firms are run as clubs. My admiration is for those lawyers who develop business and take clients wherever they go. A lot of firms are struggling and the good lawyers will leave with their clients in tow.
I know a couple of people at Keystone and it is not true at all to say that they were no longer wanted by their firms or that general practice did not suit them - they are still in general practice, just doing it in a different way without all the nonsense that goes with being a partner or a senior lawyer in a more traditional firm. They seem very happy and from what I can gather are making more money than they were before.
Dear Anonymous 5.27pm, I joined Keystone very much voluntarily because my client revenue was bringing in up to three times as much as the underperforming partners at my previous traditional law firm, and i wanted to work more flexibly. As a result, i put my money where my mouth is and moved. It takes a great deal of entrepreneurship and courage to do that. I can assure you that not one of my clients was remotely interested in staying within the traditional law firm model. Keystone do not take on underperforming partners who are not capable of sustaining a practice. How otherwise would the model work?
Why not just set up on your own rather than join Keystone?
Re Han Solo;
Presumably because Keystone offers central administrative services and also a strong brand to rely on. Might there also be some sort of bulk insurance deal?
From what I understand, its because Keystone gives all the benefits of being with a large law firm including client work, but all the freedom of being self-employed.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The paper quality is excellent. The reviewer worked with me several times to get the colors exactly right. I am so happy with this card and the RSVP cards as well."
"I absolutely loved this invitation and would have given 5 stars to the Customer Service/Delivery category but I received 20 envelopes that were a bigger size than the other 75 envelopes I received. They all still worked but it was odd. I am sure it was a mistake but I am just happy that everything still fit. These invitations were everything I wanted and hoped for....truly perfect for us and beautiful!"
"We decided to order the free 8 samples and honestly all of them were amazing! So hard to make a decision- we ended up choosing this one for our fall wedding in Shelburne, VT. It goes perfect with the theme and the rustic chic wedding we are planning! Cannot wait to send them out!"
"I ordered these invitations in "marigold" and the quality of paper and design for the cost is fantastic. And the envelopes come with the order!"
"I loved the sample invitation that was sent me, but when our actual invitation came in it was not like the sample. This card has a slight purple/grayish color to it, not white as the sample that we got. The quality of picture was not of great quality but I don't know if it's because of the matte finish paper, maybe if we would have upgraded the paper it would have made it better??? Overall, it is a nice invitation and we decide to use the pocket folders which made it even better!!!"

Create panels for customizing your UI, sucessor to eePanels
OnClick now provides a pressed and released variable you can check for.
if pressed then -- do mouse down actions elseif released then -- do mouse up actions end
This means your script will get called twice when someone clicks the panel.
Here is a youtube link to a video Tutorial
Ive created an Example Texture Pack.
This example pack is just a template. If you want to use it as a storage spot for your art, look at the read me file for directions on usage.

Hi I got KG panels a long time ago and i loved the concept how ever i am not good at using photo shop. I am wondering if anyone might be able to help me create a panel. I have an img. that i want to use. Its based off the new darkmoon fair art. If you can help me do it please send me a message.

Hi all. Took a long break from WoW, finally getting back into it, and there's something I had on my old UI that I can't remember how to recreate (because it required a little bit of code in the kgPanels config menu).
Essentially, I have three separate kgPanels that fit behind my Grid frames. One is sized for a 5-man party, one for a 10-man raid, and the other for a 25-man raid. I know there's something you can put in each of those frames's config that'll only make them show up for the appropriate party size.
So, for example, if I'm soloing, none of them show. As soon as I enter a party, the 5-man one appears. If I join a raid, 10-man, or if it's 25, 25-man. So on and so forth.
Does anyone know what I need to put in? It's two fields (I'll have to look up which), but it was something like scan party, then IF members are >2 and <11, show.

Hi, I've been using kgpanels as a border for my target unit frame. I'm currently using the script given from the sample scripts page and there appears to be a delay when I select/deselect a target. Is there a way to reduce to remove this delay? Thanks.
Phauxe Jul 11, 2011 at 20:51 UTC - 0 likes
Love kgpanels.
Not sure if this is the right place for this or not.
I have been researching for hours trying to figure if/how to create a panel to show local/server time on mouse over. Example the panel on default will show either the local or server time and then on mouse over show the opposite time.
I have also been doing alot of research trying to get the micro menu buttons I created in kgpanels to reference thier tooltip on mouseover.
Again sorry if im in the wrong spot, any help is appreciated.

So I found an old backup I made, I placed the artwork in the folder again...and pressed update kgpanels, and presto...it removed the artwork that was in that folder...again... somehow the curse updater removes everything in that folder and replaces it with the updated version of 1.6
jotunhawk Jul 03, 2011 at 07:44 UTC - 0 likes
This is the path to the artwork I had before the update...
but after the update all the tga files that was in that folder got deleted. I do not know why an update would remove files not in the file list for updates...
jotunhawk Jul 02, 2011 at 20:50 UTC - 0 likes
as in the artwork I had, the panels etc..non existing...that entire folder is gone...deleted...
jotunhawk Jul 02, 2011 at 20:35 UTC - 0 likes
First and formost. I think its great kg panels is being updated etc.
Having said that, with the update everything I made berfore is gone. Vanished, deleted, removed, hasta la vista baby....
That part is not cool. any update you make SHOULD carry with it a way to update your settings without loosing hours and hours of work creating the panels.
The entire artwork folder is gone....

The job seemed straightforward: A client wanted the cybersecurity company Core Security Technologies to probe for vulnerabilities in a new system to let customers use its Wi-Fi network.
But the client was an airline, and Core Security found a big and potentially dangerous hole. The network was so vulnerable to being hacked that a terrorist could use it to remotely detonate a bomb, much like a cellphone is sometimes used by militants as a timing device on explosives.

Islamabad, Pakistan
By Zohra Bensemra
There are so many slums in Pakistan, and they can be home to all sorts of communities – Christians, Shi'ites, Afghan refugees, or Pakistanis fleeing violence or seeking jobs.
But whatever their background, they all face the same struggles in their daily lives. The divisions of religion and nationality are less important than finding clean water, a space to study, or a battered toy for a young child to play with.
Working in these areas requires great respect for the residents, and the photographer must be aware of cultural taboos.
Photographing women is very difficult. There have been several cases where women have been killed because a photograph or a video showed them clapping, laughing or singing. If someone in the slums objects to me taking a photo, I will delete it immediately. It's not worth making them suffer for an image.
For me, a picture I shot of an empty pink party dress represents the struggle to show many Pakistani women through photography. They may have a good time or wear bright colors but you will rarely be allowed to record it. The dress shows a woman's presence by her absence.

Discuss the note to the TED community on the withdrawal of the TEDxWestHollywood license.

sandy stone 30+Apr 8 2013: The conversation is spreading to other sites. Read the comments section.
Here is a sampling:
"TED's management of this whole saga leaves much to be desired. The debate they called for happened without them. TED's curator Chris Anderson largely abstained. The only TED 'official', a translator, verbally abused TEDx speakers and debate commentators.
TED has failed to issue an apology for the slandering accusations made against Sheldrake and Hancock. TED also failed to provide any satisfactory substance on the reasons for the suppression of their videos. "
"The talks were taken down shortly after complaints from Jerry Coyne, a biologist well known for his militant atheism. TED representatives thanked him for his help, and posted a link to what they called a 'careful rebuttal' of Rupert Sheldrake's claims. The link led to Jerry Coyne's personal blog. In response to cries of pseudoscience, both Messrs Sheldrake and Hancock wrote detailed refutals, and both offered their readiness to engage in public debate with their critics. To my knowledge, TED has not replied to this. But as a follower of the debates from the very start, I must say that TED have not been transparent at all with their members."
"TED still refuses to address the substance of the arguments put forward in that forum. So, not so much a debate, really, as there was no official TED representative in them, and no acknowledgement by TED of the salient points. They still have never replaced their crossed out justification for the original removal. So, the matter is closed for TED, without their ever explaining their reasons for deleting the videos."
"Although both Sheldrake and Hancock were talking about the philosophy of science, both have demonstrated higher scientific standards than TED."

* For all of the frustrated ones: there's a video walkthrough thread at We Create Stuff > Portal: TFV's forum, and some community help. Good luck :)
We started working on this project a couple of months ago, and now, it is finally done. Lately we've been working on this project none stop, acknowledging if we release it after the real Portal - we fail, and our test will be terminated ( ;). So yes, the last piece of code of this game was programed just a couple of minutes ago. Don't worry - those minutes were on bugs!
Portal: The Flash Version includes over 40 challenging, portals thinking levels, which features almost every feature the real game does, in 2d - energy balls, cubes, turrets and even the famous crusher from the trailer. The game also includes a console to mess around with after finishing the game, or just being frustrated by thinking with portals (Commands are posted in our forums)
Left mouse button - launch a portal.
A W D - movement
Q - launch a blue portal.
E - launch a yellow portal.
R - Close both portals.
F - pick up an object.
~ - open up console (enable through the options)
O - quick quality adjust.
Esc/P - pause game.
Version history:
The game really is heavy on levels 30 and up. We did our best to optimize it, but if you still have a low frame rate simply change your quality and effect settings.
If you find any bugs, please report.
Rated 5 / 5 stars April 11, 2008
very well implemented
nice physics and good puzzles. you really captured the essence of the game. too bad the weighted companion cube isn't there. :(

Getting to London is hard; seeing these concerts is not.
The Pitch: Chances are you're already aware that Apple's iTunes is the biggest vendor of music in the world. As a little thank you to fans, Apple puts on one hell of a show in the month-long iTunes Festival, happening right now in London. So you can either get on the next flight to London and hope to be there in time to see Queens of the Stone Age or you can snag this app and stream the show for free.
What It Really Is: Essentially, the iTunes Festival app is a hub that delivers all the necessary info about the festival to the folks who can't be there to see the shows live. The month-long schedule of performers is easily accessible and the app will even remind you when your favorites are playing so you can tune in. That's the really incredible part of the app, though, its main purpose is to deliver the live performances of the bands you like directly to your iPhone, iPad, or AppleTV for free. The catch is that these shows are happening in London, hours ahead of us here in the U.S., and we may not be able to dip out of the office for an hour-long Lumineers performance during business hours. Apple has remedied these time zone shenanigans by making many of the full performances available on-demand after the shows have ended. Ironically, the downside of this app is exactly the problem that iTunes set out to solve: Musicians can be a real pain in the ass when it comes to the rights to distribute their music. Apple is offering a ton of the full shows for on-demand streaming and that catalog will certainly grow as the festival continues, but currently, some of the most popular performances are only available in 3 to 5 minute clips that feel paltry when compared to the hour+ shows of lesser-known fan favorites. We're looking at you, Lady Gaga. Wear that meat dress again and we'll let our Rottweiler off its leash.
Maxim.com Ready-Made Press Blurb: "As long as Apple continues to deliver iTunes Festival Apps each year, we'll never have to go to London!" -Maxim.com
Fun Fact: Apple has actually created a dedicated AppleTV app for the festival, in addition to the ones they're offering through iTunes. This means you can stream these shows in high-def on your home television. So don't plan anything for Friday the 13th, because Avicii is playing that day, and we're busting out the glowsticks.

Teacher Guide to Registering Students for the Statewide Middle School Fair
Middle school student projects may enter the Massachusetts State Middle School Science & Engineering Fair in two ways.
The Middle School Fair offers two project categories -- individual projects and team projects (limited to maximum of three students). Students may enter the state fair either (1) directly from individual school districts (one project/school), and/or (2) as winners from regional middle school science fairs. All students and their projects are evaluated by three individual judges. The corps of volunteer judges are recruited from various constituencies: MSSEF donors, business and industry, educational institutions, even WPI and UMASS medical school students. MSSEF encourages volunteers to offer their services. MSSEF, Inc. is certain that this pre-high school fair experience will spark sufficient interest in this younger student group so they will be eager to pursue further science research activity and ultimately participate in the senior fair only a couple of years later. While the Middle School Fair is proud of its history, greater participation is a major goal. Providing the science fair experience to your students is an integral part of re-fueling the workforce of tomorrow. Introduce and engage your students today in the inspiring inquiry-based, hands-on learning experience! We look forward to seeing you at the Statewide Fair. It's an experience that lasts a lifetime!
For more information, contact the MSSEF Middle School Division office

While the Wink Hub has some design and usability kinks to work out, its affordability and versatility make it a very desirable option for whole-home automation.
A pilot program for the office supplier's smart-home hub was successful enough to merit a broader US roll-out, along with new hardware and more partnerships.
Pricing not available
The Samsung AllShare Cast Hub is worthwhile only for select Samsung mobile device owners absolutely dying to view mobile content on their HDTVs.
Is this the home automation kit Android users have been waiting for?
The Samsung Optical Smart Hub SE-208BW makes a great digital hub for mobile devices, especially on the go. At home, it's rather limited and potentially confusing and hard to use.
The Verizon Hub is an all-in-one telephone, communications center, and entertainment system, but it isn't cheap.
Pricing not available
While it lacks integrated Wi-Fi and is more expensive than the Roku or Apple TV , the WD TV Live Hub's combination of snazzy interface and built-in 1TB hard drive will appeal to advanced users who have a lot of existing files they want to view on an HDTV or stream to other PCs on a network.
Rather than jumping around the Web to watch videos, download the beautifully designed Squrl, and use it as your one-stop video hub.

The Inside Matters: Random Gene Changes
Of course, environmental exposures by themselves do not cause cancer. Cancer is complex and involves many gene-gene interactions that occur inside you and are not well understood. For example, certain randomly occurring gene changes may be accumulating in your body's cells right now. And these same kinds of changes may not be occurring in your friends, your coworkers, or even your family members, even though all of you remain in a similar environment most of the time. Over your lifetime, random gene changes are passed along as your body cells grow and divide, so they accumulate. The unique patterns that evolve over time may make some people more likely than others to increase their risk for cancer after exposure to a particular chemical or after choosing a particular behavior.

Penelope Cruz has confirmed reports she is expecting a second child after announcing she is skipping the Goya Awards in Spain on Sunday because she is too pregnant to make the long trip.
Earlier this month, multiple outlets suggested the actress and her husband, actor Javier Bardem, were set to welcome a sibling for their two-year-old son Leo, but the couple refused to confirm the baby news.
Now the 38-year-old, who is currently working in the U.S., has been forced to comment on the rumours after declining an invitation to attend the 27th annual ceremony, where she's nominated for a Best Actress award.
Speaking to Spanish station TVE, she told reporters she was "tremendously happy and excited" to become a mom again, adding she wouldn't be flying overseas for the Goyas due to her health and work commitments.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (Nov. 5, 2013) – Under the direction of third-year head coach Louis Levine, the Rutgers gymnastics program released its 2014 schedule Tuesday. The slate is highlighted by four meets at the Livingston Recreation Center, including the season-opener Jan. 11 versus New Hampshire.
"We start off right away with three tough meets that are quickly going to let us know where we are," Levine said. "Our goal is to qualify for NCAAs as a team and we want to be able to put up high scores from the beginning."
RU will compete in two road meets during the second week of the season, traveling to take on Kent State (Jan. 17) in a quad meet before facing future Big Ten rival Ohio State (Jan. 19) head-to-head.
The second home meet will be against Brown (Jan. 24) on a Friday evening, with the third against Penn State, Temple and Ursinus (Feb. 22) for the Alumni and Pink meet. Senior Day will take place March 8 against Central Michigan, Towson, Southern Connecticut State and Yale.
The Scarlet Knights averaged over 900 fans per meet last season, with a high of 1,012, at the Livingston Recreation Center. The squad broke the school record with a 195.975 team score in its final home contest in 2013.
"Every home meet is a great experience for the kids and gives them a chance to show off for the fans," Levine said. "There have been some big crowds over the years at the Livingston Gym and we look forward to seeing great environments once again this season."
The annual East Atlantic Gymnastics League Championships will be held March 22 at New Hampshire. Following that, Rutgers hopes to have a top 36 national regional qualifying score (RQS) to advance to the NCAA Regionals as a team for the first time since 2007.
Follow Rutgers Athletics on Facebook and Twitter (@RUAthletics) for all of the latest news and updates. For specific updates regarding women's gymnastics, follow the program on Twitter @RUGymnastics.

Yesterday, NBC gave us our first look at the new Constantine series heading to the airwaves this fall. Clocking in at around three minutes, this just-released trailer suggests that we can expect Constantine to be bleak, subversive and horrifying.
In other words, absolutely perfect. Here's the trailer:
"Faster than a speeding bullet," may be the Man of Steel's thing, but it could also be used to describe the speed at which we hit our newest Facebook milestone. As we mentioned here last week, we recently surpassed 100,000 likes on the DC Collectibles Facebook page. You know what that means, right?
Well, when we reached 10,000 Facebook fans, we knew we were doing okay. That's a cool little club of devoted fans. With 50,000… Well, that's more than just a crowd, right? But 100,000 Facebook fans… That's a full on party.
This Sunday is Mother's Day, and hopefully by now you have your plans in place. We know what we're doing over here. Brunch at Mom's favorite restaurant, followed by an afternoon at the pool.
DC fans, you might want to free up some space on your DVR going into next fall…
Mere days after Fox announced that they had given Gotham a green light, The CW has gotten in on the fun by officially ordering The Flash and iZombie to series. They'll be joining the already successful Arrow, which is finishing up a highly acclaimed second season and received a third season pickup earlier this year.
A hero lost in time. A devastating threat unknowingly unleashed by a genius. A desperate mission, critical stakes, startling twists and a cast of some of the most unique characters in DC Universe.
Welcome back for another installment of Preview Monday! This week, we're giving you exclusive first looks at ACTION COMICS #31 and SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN #8.
SPOILER ALERT: If you have not read GREEN ARROW #31 and do not wish to know what happens, stop reading this post now (major spoilers ahead!).
GREEN ARROW #31 hit shelves this week with the climactic conclusion to Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino's epic tale of "The Outsiders War".
Mere moments after The CW announced that The Flash and iZombie have been picked up for series, NBC has announced that the fourth DC Entertainment series under consideration has also been given a green light.
That's right, John Constantine is getting a TV show.
Last Saturday marked not only Free Comic Book Day—a day comic book fans put away their wallets, storm the stores for free books, and immediately whip out their wallets again to splurge on amazing FCBD deals—but also the launch of the all-new weekly series The New 52: Futures End.
"The Gift of the Sureen" reaches its finale as a major new player is revealed to the Swamp Thing's world! Miki admits she was once much like Swamp Thing, only as the Avatar of the Grey. Can the Fungus world help Swamp Thing get out of his human host and back into the Green? Take a look at the gallery above for an exclusive preview of SWAMP THING #31.

NOTE: This is published as the electronic version of today's AJC column. Portions of this post have appeared earlier on this blog.
Imagine being a happily pregnant couple, 20 weeks along, when things go tragically amiss. Tests reveal that if carried to term, your child will be born without a skull, or perhaps without functioning lungs, which means that upon birth it will begin to die immediately of asphyxiation, with no hope of saving it.
Do you continue the pregnancy, knowing that the child has no chance of survival and that in many cases its "life" will at best consist of a few short hours of intense agony? Or do you end the pregnancy in the best interests of all involved, including that of the doomed fetus?
Some parents, drawing upon their faith and moral precepts, will continue the pregnancy to its tragic end. Others, drawing on their own equally sincere principles, will intervene. It is not a choice that any of us would want to make, and under House Bill 954, approved this week by a House committee, we would not have to. Because if the bill passes, as seems likely, Georgia legislators will have made that decision for every mother in the state.
Under the bill, the legal window in which abortions can be performed in Georgia would shrink from 26 to 20 weeks. Supporters justify the change by claiming that after 20 weeks, fetuses are capable of feeling pain and thus need to be protected, regardless of viability.
There are two major problems here:
1. That legislative threshold of 20 weeks contradicts the overwhelming consensus of the scientific and medical community, which holds that as a fetus develops, the neural connections needed to feel pain do not occur until 28 or 29 weeks. The pain argument is being used to advance an agenda, not to respond to science.
2. The change will do nothing to affect the vast majority of abortions, which is the real target of its sponsors. According to the Guttmacher Institute, 89 percent of abortions are performed in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, long before the proposed law would take effect.
Many of the small fraction of abortions that occur after the proposed 20-week deadline involve what are called "medically futile pregnancies" such as those described above.
As a prominent Atlanta obstetrician told me this week, consider a woman who at 20 weeks discovers that her fetus suffers from anencephaly, which means it's missing part of its head. The goal of his practice is to see high-risk pregnancies through to a healthy, successful live birth, but sometimes that just isn't possible.
"The fetus has no skull," he explained. "I don't think many of us walk around without a skull. It is not going to survive no matter what you do. We tell the mother what we found, and we let her go through full counseling, grief counseling. And at the end of that, we give her the option of carrying that pregnancy or not."
Under HB 954, that option would no longer be available.
That fetus will be carried to full term, under the false excuse of sparing it pain, and the result will be a baby "condemned to writhe in agony" as it dies shortly after birth.
(As a condition of the interview, the doctor asked not to be named. He has been advised not to speak publicly out of fear for his personal safety and threats of economic boycott.)
The bill is also certain to force abortions that otherwise will not have occurred, he said.
"I saw a couple at 21 or 22 weeks. They didn't have health insurance until then because he was transferring jobs, so they hadn't had the screening. When they came to see me, they were distraught. The fetus had a heart defect, what turned out to have been a fixable heart defect. But we didn't know that for sure. We had to go through amniocentesis, which takes a week. That brings us up to 22 and a half weeks. Then we had to counsel this family and convince them that this heart defect was fixable. Because we had the time, we were able to walk them through the process and they didn't terminate.
"If I had seen them at 19 weeks and four days, and this new law gave them just three days to decide, they would have terminated that pregnancy. We told the Legislature that, but these legislators think that's not going to happen.
"It's going to happen."
In more than five hours of hearings this month, legislators have been made aware of these consequences, but they made no substantive changes to the bill.
"From my standpoint, if they wanted to cut off elective terminations — the woman who just decides at 22 weeks, I don't want this baby — I could live with that," the doctor told me. "But let the woman who has a complication make rational decisions."

Could this be the next step for pro-abortion liberals?
Also medical professionals have recognised the need for guidelines about cases in which death seems to be in the best interest of the child. In The Netherlands, for instance, the Groningen Protocol (2002) allows to actively terminate the life of 'infants with a hopeless prognosis who experience what parents and medical experts deem to be unbearable suffering'.4
Although it is reasonable to predict that living with a very severe condition is against the best interest of the newborn, it is hard to find definitive arguments to the effect that life with certain pathologies is not worth living, even when those pathologies would constitute acceptable reasons for abortion. It might be maintained that 'even allowing for the more optimistic assessments of the potential of Down's syndrome children, this potential cannot be said to be equal to that of a normal child'.3 But, in fact, people with Down's syndrome, as well as people affected by many other severe disabilities, are often reported to be happy.5
Nonetheless, to bring up such children might be an unbearable burden on the family and on society as a whole, when the state economically provides for their care. On these grounds, the fact that a fetus has the potential to become a person who will have an (at least) acceptable life is no reason for prohibiting abortion. Therefore, we argue that, when circumstances occur after birth such that they would have justified abortion, what we call after-birth abortion should be permissible.

Nobody is pro-abortion. Pro-abortion would mean being in favor of abortions. Nobody wants an abortion to occur.
But, who are you to deny someone the right to have one if it is necessary and although not wanted, the best alternative.

Who will define what is and is not an acceptable life?
On these grounds, the fact that a fetus has the potential to become a person who will have an (at least) acceptable life is no reason for prohibiting abortion.

"it is hard to find definitive arguments to the effect that life with certain pathologies is not worth living, "
Um, here's one Sparky: THE FETUS HAS NO (insert vital organ) AND HAS NO CHANCE OF SURVIVAL OUTSIDE THE WOMB.
Re: the rest of your assertions, you have it all wrong. It's not about the big picture. It's not about "society as a whole" or economics. It's about LEGISLATORS sticking their noses into the **literal** LIFE and DEATH decisions made by a woman and her doctor when her WORST fears have come true! This bill isn't about mythical day-spa clinics where you can get highlights while you wait your turn and a mani-pedi while you're recovering from an abortion of convenience!
This bill is about using state LAW to force ONE woman to carry a fetus inside her for two, three, or four more months when that fetus has NO CHANCE OF SURVIVAL outside the womb, in a most rare and unusual circumstance. It's about forcing ONE woman to forfeit her own life, or her own fertility and the future of the family she and her husband hoped to have, because a legislator she's never met thinks fetuses feel pain at 20 weeks. It's about coming between ONE woman and her doctor, negating all claims to being an agent of freedom or smaller government.
And that ONE woman is ALL OF US, because it could be ANY of us.
This bill has one purpose, and one purpose only, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with mercy, love, freedom, or doing what's right.

Republican Politicians just love the anti choice group, every time they're needed they call them out. The anti choice groups fall for it every time. They don't get it, the politicians don't care about the babies they never have, it's to get the sheep to follow. Just like, GOD, GAYS and GUNS. If these politicians really cared about the babies, they would pass legislation to take care of them. Have these republican politicians EVER voted in favor of giving more to those in need? Nope, not unless their out voted.
I'm writing down all these legislator's names, state and those in Washington and I hope when it comes to election time those who are offended, men and women, by the way these republican men are trying to dictate what woman can and can't have in the way of birth control, health-care and abortions, if needed, will put your mark on anyone BUT an INCUMBMENT. If the new voted in Politician is of a like mind as these idiots, then they too will be voted out of office.
Enough is enough on this woman hating/bashing. The Republican Politician Male or if any Republican women in the Dome are dumb enough to vote like her fellow fools, then so be it, the War has started! What's good for the Goose is Good for the Gander! Write down their names for your district, State Representative, Senator and take it with you come election day. If they aren't up for re-election vote them out at the next election, just don't forget their names. We have the votes fellow Georgian Women, vote these ding dongs out, they aren't fit for public office. If not registered, go register now, and VOTE come election time.

Doom — "Well of course. Therefore seeing as how a fetus 8 3/4 months into pregnancy is not a human because it is still totally dependent on its mother we should go ahead and amend the abortion law to where we can just start aborting them right up until when a woman goes into labor. Such is the twisted logic of the kook left."
No, such is your dishonest misrepresentation of what others are saying.

Well, now we know this bill passed…and why? Because the sponsors and the folks who voted for it want to be elected again…this is pathetic. This will come back to haunt those who voted for it – just wait and see.

Brilliantly clever product.
Sure, it's just a dock. Fundamentally, its only function is to turn your existing cable up by 100 or so degrees, but this provides Sure, it's just a dock. Fundamentally, its only function is to turn your existing cable up by 100 or so degrees, but this provides a lot of practical convenience, whether on your nightstand for charging, or on a desk for syncing and heads-up display.
Rather than design just another pretty dock basically impractical for anyone with an iPhone case, TwelveSouth has thoughtfully designed the HiRise to be nearly universally compatible with any case out there by using Apple's own cable. This isn't lazy, it's brilliant. Because of it, this dock will work with almost any case that accepts the tiniest, highest-quality cable out on the market (and everyone already has one!).
This design choice isn't the only thing that makes the HiRise great. It is clear from initially opening the box that TwelveSouth has put a tremendous amount of thought and pride into the whole experience. The stand exudes quality, as does even the packaging and assembly instructions. The allen-head cap screws have a secure and organized place in the box, and the allen key has a permanent home inside the base of the dock itself. Every single cleverly-designed step in the unbox & assembly process will bring a little smile to your face. It's reminiscent in this regard of Apple's own products.
Best part? The Lightning standard is new and expected to be around for a decade. Since this dock is well-designed and adaptable, it should last through many future generations of iPhones. In a market where we too often begrudgingly pay $30-40 for a molded plastic case to be used for a few months or a year before moving on, it is an absolute delight to pay the same for a clever, convenient product that is solid as a rock and will remain useful for many years. …

What I've noticed is that it's not a stand you can still really use the phone while its on. I know it wanst sold as anything but a good looking stand but I'd like to see it with a wider base and back, right now the phone is very wobbly if you like to put your hand around it to respond to a test while it stays not he stand. I don't mean thicker post, they're fine (well maybe it should be wider to support the back more).
Again, not a deal breaker, I'll keep this one but I wouldn't buy one for my iPad based on how off balanced everything feels. Something to support the far edges would feel great if it could be worked into the design. …

Pink Floyd has been dropping hints on its social media websites and official site that it's apparently preparing to release a 20th anniversary of its last studio album, 1994's The Division Bell . The most recent evidence is a newly launched website, DivisionBell20.com , where fans who visit PinkFloyd.com are automatically redirected.
The site features a countdown timer that's scheduled to expire at 10 a.m. ET and a link to the Twitter hashtag #TBD20, and it's is streaming a new video for the Division Bell instrumental "Marooned." The clip begins with breathtaking footage taken of the Earth from the International Space Station and eventually shifts to eerie scenes filmed in Pripyat, Ukraine, a city that has been abandoned since the 1986 meltdown of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
Prior to the launch of DivisionBell20.com, a series of stills from the "Marooned" video along with the #TBD20 hashtag had been posted on Pink Floyd's Facebook and Twitter pages over the course of the previous few days.
The Division Bell was recorded by Pink Floyd's post- Roger Waters lineup -- singer/guitarist David Gilmour , singer/keyboardist Richard Wright and drummer Nick Mason -- and was released in April of 1994. The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and has been certified for sales of 3 million copies in the U.S.

The superintendent of Franklin County Schools will ask the school board to end the contract of a teacher accused of having sex with a student.
Friday, deputies arrested Vina physical education teacher Sonny Tibbs. He is accused of having sex with a 17-year-old student on multiple occasions. Tibbs has since been suspended with pay.
Superintendent Gary Williams said a letter was sent to Tibbs Tuesday afternoon regarding Williams' desire to have the school board terminate Tibbs' teaching contract. The teacher will have 15 days to respond before the case is discussed at a board meeting.
Williams said Tibbs' arrest is disappointing, both to the school and community.
"The punishment for this type of situation is severe. It's going to be life-changing. People are going to think negative of it – and they should, it's justified – but hopefully this time around, this is the end of this. Of course, we can't guarantee it, but maybe enough lessons have been learned that this won't happen again," he said.
Investigators said Tibbs has confessed to the accusations, but Superintendent Williams said his actions have already affected the community.
"I'd like to say to the parents of Vina and all the Franklin County schools that we don't condone this type of behavior and we will take measures to stop it… I want to say I hope it's the last time it happens; that this will put an end to it," he said.
Sheriff Shannon Oliver agreed with the superintendent's view that the arrest was a disappointment to the community. He wants to remind parents to keep an open line of communication with their children, and recommended playing a key role in your child's school life to help reduce the risk of your son or daughter becoming a victim.
"I think it's easier sometimes said than done, but keep an open line of communication and cell phone, keep in contact with who they're texting and talking to, and really get to know their teachers," he said.
Tibbs is the second Vina teacher to be arrested for having sex with a students. Deputies arrested Kimberly Bynum in 2011. Charges against Bynum have since been dropped.

Cost: A Deadly Barrier to Health Care
Heart Attacks Worse for People Who Can't Pay
Ill Uninsured in 'Death Spiral' continued...
Injuries included any kind of athletic or nonathletic accident -- a sprained ankle, for example, or injuries from a car crash. Chronic illnesses were new diagnoses of chronic conditions -- heart attacks, cancer, diabetes, and so on.
After one of these "health shocks," compared with people with health insurance, people without health insurance were:
- 53% less likely to get medical care after an accident and 55% less likely to get medical care after a newly diagnosed chronic condition.
- 2.6 times less likely to get recommended follow-up care after an accident and 65% less likely to get recommended follow-up care after diagnosis of a new chronic condition.
- 29% less likely to get prescription medicines.
An average 3.5 months after a health shock, those without insurance were 14% more likely to say they were much worse off after an injury and 26% more likely to say they were much worse off after diagnosis of a chronic illness.
Seven months after a health shock, uninsured people were still more likely to report much worse health.
"The uninsured are significantly less likely to say they are not fully recovered -- and not because they are still in treatment," Hadley said at the news conference. "They have ended their treatment process and still are not recovered."
For those with a chronic illness, this lack of treatment may be the beginning of the end.
"This can lead to a death spiral -- a literal death spiral," Hadley said. "If you are not treated for a chronic illness, your risk of death increases over time."
Cost of Insurance vs. Cost of Uninsurance
Hadley said his study dispels the myth that people without health insurance somehow find a way to get medical care.
The Journal of the American Medical Association Editor-in-Chief Catherine D. DeAngelis, MD, MPH, told the news conference that the U.S. spends 2 trillion dollars -- that's $2,000,000,000,000 -- on health care.
Yet 47 million Americans -- including 9 million children -- lack health insurance. And an estimated 16 million more Americans are underinsured.
"And how many millions with insurance still don't have access to health care?" she asked.
Hadley said the cost of providing health insurance to uninsured Americans is far less than the cost of having so many Americans uninsured.
"There are substantial costs to not covering the uninsured," he said. "One is the loss of health to the uninsured people. Second is their lost productivity -- that, in turn, has spillover to the rest of society. And if we don't pay for their insurance, we pay for the increased costs [to the health care system]."

Eight years as the dining editor and restaurant reviewer of this magazine was a pretty sweet gig. But at the risk of sounding too bloated with self-importance, eating for a living catches up to you—wreaking havoc on your physical well-being that no amount of stretchy pants and digestive aids can soothe. So earlier this summer I handed over my fork and pen to the next wave of hungry writers and set my sight on new adventures.
Because a good portion of my job included critiquing restaurants, we thought it would be fun to turn the tables and invite chefs and restaurateurs to critique me. So, in partnership with local beer artisans MadTree Brewing, we created a Sunday night pop-up dinner at Pallet 23 in Northside, invited a few dozen restaurant industry folk, charged them money, and handed out score sheets.
The Menu:
Pissaladiere: caramelized onions, anchovies, Niçoise olives
Pâté: pickled cherries, sage crostini
Salad: tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, olive oil, basil
Main: Pork roulade, chimichurri, roasted corn, garlic beans
Sweet: gelato spazzacamino, biscotti; vanilla gelato, Axis Mundi, ground espresso
We asked our guests to be honest. They were. See for yourself:
Thanks go to Brian Mulroy and the MadTree guys—Kenny, Brady, and Jeff—for partnership, support, and damn fine beer. To Laura Chenault for her great event space / urban kitchen, Pallet 23. And to my adventurous sous chefs and servers, who sat at the tables of many a restaurant review with me over the years and—because they are friends first and foremost—were willing to jump into this fire: Jon Powell, Courtney Tsitouris, Dustin Tsitouris, Doug Pentz, Ryan Adams, Barbara Hauser, Keven Speece, Teresa Hoelle, and Scott Provancher.
And finally, to chefs and restaurateurs here and everywhere, we humbly bow. Our experience, while fun, was a great reminder of the passion, hard work, consummate skill, and commitment it takes to do what you do. Every day.

NHLPA updates Canadian Parliament about lockout
New York, NY, United States (4E Sports) – The NHL Players' Association has written members of the Canadian Parliament to update them on where the labor impasse stands, according to a union source.
The source said the NHLPA made the action and sent letters written by union director of hockey operations Alexandra Dagg dated Nov. 19 because members of the Parliament are getting questions about the lockout from their constituents.
"They continue to insist that they will not move off their 'take-it-or-leave it' approach to bargaining," Dagg's letter to lawmakers said.
"The players have proposed that their share of hockey-related revenue move towards the NHL's stated desire for a 50-50 split, with the only condition being that they honor contracts they have already signed, Honoring contracts signed between owners and players is a reasonable request," it added.
Dagg emphasized that the union have repeatedly advised the owners that the players are prepared to sit down and negotiate on any day, with no pre-conditions.
"To be clear, the lockout was a unilateral decision taken by the owners. It is the third lockout in eighteen years. Hockey has lost more games to work stoppages than the three other professional sports leagues combined, virtually all as the result of owners' lockouts," the letter said.
The letter further explained to lawmakers that the players' union understands the damage caused by the lockout.
"The players understand the selfishness of the owners' lockout position all too well. Countless people — from league and team employees, to hockey fans, to small business owners and their workers — are suffering unnecessarily as a result," the letter stated.
The union also informed lawmakers that the NHLPA has reached out to people affected by the lockout to help them out.
The NHL is expected to respond with a letter of its own to the Canadian Parliament, another source added.

Angie Lowe, co-director of L'arc en Ciel Theatre Group's production of the musical mystery-comedy "Something's Afoot," is well-versed with the material.
In the fall of 1981, Lowe, along with her husband, Paul Lowe, brought it to the stage when the pair oversaw the Lake Central Theatre Guild. They revived it at the high school a decade ago, before the Lowes left the campus confines and formed L'arc en Ciel.
According to Lowe, the third time around is proving to be charming for her, her husband, and the wacky whodunit.
"We enjoyed it so much back then and we're enjoying it now," she said. "The characters are so stylized and, right now, everyone is at the ages of the characters that are required for the show."
Opening Jan. 20 and running through Feb. 3 at Cedar Lake's Great Oaks After Four Club, "Afoot" is a comedic and musical tribute to the mystery novels of genre pioneer Agatha Christie, most notably her classic tome "Ten Little Indians."In "Afoot," guests invited to a manor are murdered, and it's up to the survivors, who are dwindling in number, to find the killer.
"Afoot" was created for the stage in 1972 and made it to Broadway four years later. Featuring songs such as "Carry On," "You Fell Out of the Sky" and "I Don't Know Why I Trust You (But I Do)," "Afoot" was a hit when it made its way to London's West End in 1977, where it was nominated for an Olivier Award for Best Musical.
"It's tongue in cheek and campy," Lowe said. "It's just so fun … right now, who wants serious? We want fun. Good, campy fun."
Lynette Estes from Merrillville plays detective Miss Tweed, Crown Point's Emerson Caress plays the butler, Clive, and Munster's Brandon Smelko portrays Nigel, the heir to the manor, in L'arc en Ciel's "Afoot." Also performing are Chris King from St. John as manor caretaker Flint, Crete's Nicci Carroll as the maid, Lettie.
"We're all just having a ball," Lowe said."We've got a great crew for this and we're all having a good time."
Dinner will be served 90 minutes prior to each performance.
Next up for L'arc en Ciel Theatre Group is the Angie Lowe-penned "Spending the Kids' Inheritance," which is scheduled to open in April.
