The physician-patient relationship is a cornerstone of the medical encounter and has been analyzed extensively. But in many cases, this relationship is altered because patients are unable to make decisions for themselves. In such cases, physicians rely on surrogates, who are often asked to "speak for the patient." This view overlooks the fundamental fact that the surrogate decision maker cannot be just a passive spokesperson for the patient but is also an active agent who develops a complex relationship with the physician. Although there has been much analysis of the ethical guidelines by which surrogates should make decisions, there has been little previous analysis of the special features of the physician-surrogate relationship. Such an analysis seems crucial as the population ages and life-sustaining technologies improve, which is likely to make surrogate decision making even more common. We outline key issues affecting the physician-surrogate relationship and provide guidance for physicians who are making decisions with surrogates.

Jaquevius, whose nickname is "JP" is a sweet child who is well bonded to his siblings. He is well accommodating and enjoys having affection from others. He is a loveable, warm spirited child. JP is more shy and soft spoken then his younger sibling, Ny'Asia, with whom he is currently placed.
JP enjoys playing with cars, video games, trucks and things he can "tinker" with. He enjoys playing with his peers and siblings. JP plays well with other children however at times struggles to share his toys. He is learning appropriate boundaries to have between himself and his sister as well as other children.
Initially, JP appeared to be delayed in speech however is making tremendous progress. It is easier to communicate with JP now. JP is still on the quite side but is more open with speaking with the caseworker during visits. He is also more vocal and has started to stand up for himself.
JP wants and needs assurance that his most basic needs are being met. He should be constantly evaluated by teachers and caregivers to make sure that he is able to function at the appropriate educational level or that help is available.
Ny'Asia whose nickname is "Na-na" is described as a sweet and loving child. She enjoys coloring and playing with dolls. She enjoys being cradled by her caregivers and attaches easily. Ny'Asia is a tough 6 year old who does not allow other children to pick on her. Her foster mom refers to her as the "princess" in the home. She is also strong and feisty and able to defend herself when needed.
Ny'Asia responds best to direct and firm redirection and discipline. She is an endearing child who enjoys being hugged and treated like a princess. She benefits from involvement in various activities because she easily becomes board. Ny'Asia has difficulty getting along with her peers at times. She at times will fight back when she feels she is being mistreated. She is learning to share and not be aggressive in her play. She is also learning appropriate boundaries.
It is recommended that due to Ny'Asia need of structure, stability and predictability she needs to have appropriate boundaries set and modeled for her to improve her social functioning and exhibit acceptable behaviors.
Characteristics of Adoptive Family Desired
JP and Ny'Asia will need a very loving, nurturing family that is highly structured and experienced. The family will need to be willing to accept the children's challenging behaviors and be patient with them as they can challenge authority. The family must be diligent about supervising the children at all times and ensure they receive supportive services to help them with learning boundaries and adjusting to their new family.
JP and Ny'Asia have older siblings that were adopted by a relative. The ideal home for Jaquevius and Ny'Asia would be a two parent home near the Central Texas area so they will be able to continue frequent contact with their older siblings. JP at times has a hard time saying bye to his older siblings. He at times shuts down when it is time to say good bye and begins crying. He still misses his sisters and asks to see them more than the relative allows for visits. It will be important that an adoptive parent encourages and support sibling contact for JP and Ny'Asia with their older siblings.

Hey! Have you seen the new issue of Twist Collective? I'm so happy to have my cardigan, Kingscot, included in this gorgeous, innovative, on-line magazine. Don't be afraid of all those bobbles. I did them all without turning. I guess I'd call them "i-cord" bobbles.
Be sure to check out Eloise Narrigan's charming illustrations in the same issue! I met Eloise last summer and fell in love with her work on the spot.

Full Enclosure
The courtyard, one of the world's oldest home styles, experiences a resurgence, aided by new technology and a growing desire to bring the outdoors in.
After decades of big yards and boxy homes, more homeowners are opting for a throwback to ancient days: the courtyard. Often enclosed on several or all sides, courtyard homes bring the yard inside, offering an extra layer of privacy and allowing natural light to flood into the house.
Jimmy and Margaret Lowder's 4,600-square-foot home in Montgomery, Ala., includes a 32-by-59-foot inner courtyard that's wrapped by the brick home on three sides. Inside the courtyard, bluestone pavers and grass crisscross on the ground and Italian cypresses, olive trees, rosemary bushes and boxwoods serve as the backdrop to lilies, jasmine, hydrangeas and delphiniums. A second, smaller courtyard flanks the master bedroom, allowing Ms. Lowder to have a cutting garden, where she grows snapdragons, pansies and begonias for flower arrangements.
The couple say they were drawn to the design for the primary house after building a vacation courtyard home in Florida. "We wanted a place where we could be outside and still have privacy," says Ms. Lowder, whose husband owns a local real-estate development and insurance firm. The couple say the house would have cost about $2 million to build; they paid less because they are in the industry and got discounts.
The rising popularity of the courtyard is tied to the growing desire for indoor/outdoor transitional living. Last year, 53% of architects surveyed by the American Institute of Architects reported an increase in clients wanting blended indoor/outdoor living, up from 46% a year earlier. Steven and Cathi House, architects based in San Francisco, estimate that 50% of their work involves courtyard designs; a decade ago, the number was closer to 20%. Gary Justiss, an architect in Chelsea, Ala., says 80% of his work now consists of courtyard homes, a trend he attributes to tighter property lines in densely populated areas and the growing affection for outdoor rooms.
There's also a rising demand for motor and entry courtyards, which can serve as transitional spaces to set a calmer, off-the-street tone and welcome people into the house.
A slew of new building technologies—particularly in windows, doors and lighting—has also played a role. Window and door manufacturers now make 8-foot-wide panels that can be combined to create a 32-foot-long stretch, for example. Costing anywhere from $4,000 to more than $8,000, the bifolding panels can be opened to turn the courtyard into an extension of public space or closed off for privacy.
Similarly, LED lighting has allowed architects to transform the courtyard into a functional room at night so it doesn't just sit there like, "dead space," says Baywood Park, Calif., landscape architect Jeffrey Gordon Smith. In Shell Beach, Calif., for example, Mr. Smith designed a courtyard for some clients with mood lighting that can adjust to a warm hue if the couple is serving soup at a dinner party, and then fade into a blue for a cup of mint sorbet.
Retractable screen systems and evolving heating techniques have also helped make courtyards more than a seasonal space, says Clem Schaub, an architect in Vero Beach, Fla. The screens, which start around $1,500, can roll vertically or horizontally, allowing a homeowner to leave several sets of doors open without letting bugs in. Custom wood/gas combination fire pits or fireplaces, which cost several thousand dollars, can provide warmth or just a decorative touch. And in colder climates, heated pavement can make a walk from the house to a hot tub more comfortable.
A courtyard adds about 15% to the cost of building, architects say, because designing a home with a hole in its center requires more exterior walls. But the increased outdoor space, converted from indoor space, can lead to lower energy bills as there is less home to heat. As a result, courtyards aren't "restricted to higher-end homes," says Jon Dick, an architect in Santa Fe, N.M., adding that they psychologically can make a smaller home feel bigger because of an influx of natural light. What's more, real-estate agents say courtyards can help resale value, particularly in temperate areas. "They're popular and can sell quicker in neighborhoods that value outdoor living," says Rob Giem, a real-estate agent with HOM Sotheby's International Realty in Newport Beach, Calif.
Courtyard architecture is one of the oldest home styles in the world. More than 5,000 years ago, courtyards were built in the Middle East and China as a protective mechanism—both from harsh weather and unfriendly neighbors, says John Reynolds, a professor emeritus of architecture at the University of Oregon. The design was replicated in Spain and the Mediterranean before traveling west in the 1500s, when Spain colonized Mexico. By the 1800s, it was well established in the Southwest.
In the U.S., courtyard design first gained traction in California. In the 1920s, architects Arthur and Nina Zwebell as well as brother-duo F. Pierpont Davis and Walter Davis built small apartment complexes around courtyards and high-end single-family courtyard homes in Los Angeles. When early modernism came around in the 1930s, however, courtyard homes weren't as prevalent because houses tended to be more of an "object in the landscape" instead of being intertwined with the outdoors, Mr. Dick, the architect, says.
Today, the courtyard has swung back to being a blend of geometry and nature, transforming from a functional protection from weather and foes to a space that's conducive to spending more time outside. Courtyards work with any style of home, from modern to classical, but the designs are particularly popular in warmer climates, where courtyards induce airflow. When designed properly, one end of the courtyard can be 15 degrees cooler than the other end because of cross-ventilation.
The most important aspect of courtyard design, architects say, is the sun. Wherever the best sun occurs is where the courtyard should sit, with the home designed around those angles. Mr. House says an east-west orientation is preferred because latitude works with the sun's motion, making it easy for an individual who wants morning sunlight in the breakfast room to position it on the west side of the home, with east-facing windows. The wrong orientation can ruin the courtyard's purpose, making it look cold and dank.
The material chosen as the "floor" of the courtyard can also help make the area feel like part of the house. Light-colored paving is attractive in warmer climates because it reflects the sun and keeps the area cool, Mr. Justiss says. Rosy concrete works well with hardwood floors for color continuity, while a carpet of lawn may be used to offset the simplicity of a sleek courtyard.
Trees and plants also play an important role to help induce airflow and provide shade on hotter days in courtyards, and water is a common element because it can help cool the air through evaporation and can have a calming effect on the space.
On a recently built home on John's Island in Vero Beach, Fla., Mr. Schaub wanted to create an entry courtyard with a garden to "calm you down and get you off the street," he says. The courtyard has pebbles and stones surrounded by grass, with an understated cascading fountain made from Balinese volcanic rock that collects rainwater and seeps into the stone. On the walls, wisteria drapes over the outside, creating a barrier from the street. The courtyard home cost $2.5 million to build.
Many homeowners use their courtyards as their primary entertainment space, incorporating everything from built-in barbecue pits to swimming pools that double as movie seats. In Alys Beach, Fla., John and Maureen Fiacco wanted their home to "block off the hustle and bustle of being in a beach town," Ms. Fiacco says. She and her husband, who is CEO of health-insurance firm Connected Health, worked with architect Mr. Justiss to design a seven-bedroom, seven-bathroom compound with three courtyards and two terraces.
The master bedroom courtyard has a tiled fountain and is where the Fiaccos have their coffee and read the newspapers. A second courtyard is called the "dog courtyard," as their dogs enjoy hanging around while the family uses the built-in grill and picnic table. Mr. Justiss also built in a water bowl for the Fiacco's dogs and an arch-shaped doggy door leading from the outdoor shower area.
Their main courtyard includes a swimming pool with a concrete platform in the middle and a subterranean subwoofer. The Fiaccos, who declined to discuss the cost of building their courtyard, have hosted rock concerts for up to 75 people, bringing in bands to perform on the platform. The swimming pool has a built-in bench where the couple's college-age children can watch movies projected onto one of the walls (the projector is hidden inside a fountain.) Loggias and outdoor dining areas surround the courtyard, which has grass between shellstone pavers, strawberry plants and a pineapple guava tree.
Many zoning codes require large setbacks—the minimum distance that a home can be from the road—that leave too little room to build a large home with a courtyard. If the courtyard is too small, or an odd shape, it could make homeowners feel claustrophobic. And it's not an ideal yard for children who want space to run.
Regional differences also play a factor in design and style. Thick adobe walls that retain heat during the day and slowly let it out during the evening are often used in the Southwest when it gets chilly at night. In Florida, stucco is a popular material because of its breathability and its ability to reflect light. In colder climates, architects must watch what materials and installation techniques are used because of the harsh winters.
Similarly, landscaping can be more limiting, as plants may need to work with the color flow from the home or a certain courtyard design. The service berry can be "boring in the summer," says Vermont landscape architect H. Keith Wagner, but it's one of the first plants to blossom in the spring, making it a solid choice for a Northern courtyard landscape.
Even the biggest courtyard enthusiasts still have to get acquainted with their designs. Six months ago, when Frank Thoms and his wife, Kathleen Cammarata, moved into their new home designed by Mr. and Ms. House in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, Ms. Cammarata then awoke to a bright light in the middle of the night. The full moon had shone through the glass onto her side of the bed. "Kathleen is more sensitive to light," Mr. Thoms says. "So I swapped sides with her."
Corrections & Amplifications
An earlier version of this article incorrectly quoted architect Steven House. Mr. House says an east-west orientation is preferred because latitude works with the sun's motion, making it easy for an individual who wants morning sunlight in the breakfast room to position it on the west side of the home, with east-facing windows. Also, in the photo slideshow, the banister in the San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, courtyard home was designed by architect Cathi House.

Can I give a big thanks to @jsimsace?
30 Answers answer
I keep holding out hoping that one will come in my BOC. Note: This is not a request for 20 calendars.
Woot customer service = second to none.
@lichme: 20 Woot calendars coming your way! niceness is contagious
@w00tgurl: If that happened, I would place one on everyone's desk at work before they came in, and not tell them.
@lichme: Just wait until the end of the year and in to 2013, I'm sure there will be plenty :)
@hackman2007: Wait, I thought the world was going to end in 2012...Wouldn't that preclude the need for calendars in 2013?
Can I get a WOOT! Mayan Calendar?...It would not even need to be all of 2012!
lol my woot calendar along with a monkey was stolen out of my car a few months back.. that and all the change in my console (about $15).. I assume that he/she needed it more than I did lol.. Talk about desperate.
I think I have 2 or 3 left overs. If anyone would like one let me know.
@cowboydann I'd like one, please!
@devexityspace: I have your monkey...if you want to see him alive again you'll follow the instructions I'll be pming you within the hour.
I've also got a couple floating around I suppose I could mail them out to needy woot kids who missed out.
@cowboydann: ME TOOO!!
@wilcononomous: Judging from your exuberance I take it that you haven't received your Paypal invoice yet? ;)
@lichme: I'd gladly take one of your 20 woot calendars XP I have none as well and who doesn't want an awesome calendar to show your loyalty to woot in your office! ^^

@mommyleah: Not sure what for?? But you seem cool and post some good deals so I love you too!!
I have three spare woot calendars if anyone would like. PM me your address.
(No, I only purchased three, the fourth came in a BoC.)
@baqui63: I want one! I have no idea how to PM anyone? I've been a member since 07 and have never had the need to do so
@jseureau: You have to go to woot.com , search for a username on the community tab, find a post by that person then click the envelope by their name. It's a POS system but it does work.
@jseureau: Here is a post I made on wine.woot the other night.
Go to that post and, to the right of my username, just above my quality post count, is a little envelope icon that looks kind of grayed out.
Click the envelope and you can send me a PM (Private Message) with your mailing address.
I think I have enough forever stamps to send it out without having to actually go to the Post Office, but if not, it will be at least Monday before it gets into the mail.
Edit: That fracking permalink above isn't working right, so it will just get you to page 17 of that thread. The post from me is the fifth from the bottom of page 17. (And if you or anyone else has comments about 100-ish bottle wine storage cabinets, please feel free.)
@devexityspace: I sent you a PM.
@anorion: @jseureau: @devexityspace: Email me here email@example.com if nobody else was able to contact you. (dev what kind of monkey was it I could probably get you one coming your way I have about 45/50 of them)
I might have 1 more calendar. Possibly 4. I honestly can't remember how many I gave out last time. If I can find a second box of calendar it's 4 more.
PM back at you. Calendar does into the mail in the morning; USPS says you should have it on Saturday.
Sadly, I wish I had a calendar but the voices in my head are saying:
1. These people don't know you. You read their posts and hardly ever post. You're not in the cool kids club.
2. You don't know these people. Do you really want to beg them to do nice things for you? Is it okay to give someone my address? What could go wrong?
Wow, I really am a head case. Enjoy giving and getting! Now I will go back to reading other people's posts.
@jalgal: Who's down with ckc, yeah you know me!
Risking the threat of seeming very out of touch:
What is ckc?
@jalgal: ckc - Cool Kids Club!!! ;)
I am such a sad case, I don't even know the slang.
Thanks for the heads up :)

The Goode Family is an animated series created by Mike Judge, John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky, the folks behind the hit show King Of The Hill. (And of course Mike Judge is known for Beavis And Butthead, Office Space and Idiocracy.) The Goode Family aired on ABC in 2009, and didn't last long, which is a shame because it's a really good show. Like a lot of folks, I missed this series when it originally aired, so I'm glad this DVD gave me a chance to enjoy it. This two-disc set includes all thirteen episodes, as well as lots of bonus material.
The Goode Family is about a somewhat poor family (named the Goodes) who are doing their best to do the right thing in all aspects of their lives - to do everything possible to help the environment, to be on the right side of every social issue, to be peaceful, and so on. And the running theme of the series is that is really hard to be good. Or, at least to be good all the time. The opening shot of the pilot sets the tone. It is a bumper sticker which reads, "Support Our Troops...And Their Opponents." Perfect, right?
Gerald Goode (voiced by Mike Judge) and his wife Helen (Nancy Carell) have adopted a baby from Africa, but due to some mishap, ended up with a white baby from South Africa. So of course now the boy, Ubuntu, is an African American. (That is wonderful - I've always said that Charlize Theron is my favorite African American actor.) The pilot episode has another great sequence about what black people are supposed to be called these days, and pokes fun at ridiculous terms like "African American" and "People of Color." They also have a biological daughter named Bliss, who sometimes offers a dissenting voice in the family. Another member of the family who tries to offer a dissenting view is the dog, who they have forced to be vegan and who has consequently turned to devouring neighborhood pets.
Episodes include a pet adoption drive, the need for public radio, a restaurant owner who doesn't consider chicken to be meat, and community service (the last in an episode that asks the important question, "What are The Hamptons anyway?"). One of my favorite episodes is "A Tale Of Two Lesbians," which features the great line, "Because anyone can create art, but not just anyone can buy it." By the way, during that episode's party scene, pay attention to all the additional background voices. One of them says, "I was against Katrina."
I actually enjoyed this show more than King Of The Hill. Maybe it's because I could related to these characters more. I am a vegetarian, and I try to recycle everything I can (after reducing and reusing, of course). And I try to cause as little harm to the world as possible. So it's wonderful to have a show poke a bit of fun at that, because, after all, there is humor in everything. When I was living in Eugene, Oregon, I used to get upset because of lot of the left-wing folks had no sense of humor about themselves. It was difficult, because I agreed with basically everything they were saying, but I hated the way they were saying it. I wonder if those people will enjoy this DVD. I hope so.
Bonus Features
This two-disc set has several bonus features, including commentary tracks on four of the episodes. The commentary tracks are by executive producers John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky. While it's a shame that Mike Judge was unavailable to participate in the commentaries, the tracks are still truly interesting.
On the pilot's commentary track, they talk about how the idea of the show came about, and about their regret that they did not go with the original look for Ubuntu. They also discuss how the network didn't quite understand the time needed for an animated series, as well as some of the reviews (NPR hated the series).
In the commentary for the episode "Goodes Gone Wild," they talk about how Margo was based on an "administrator at a very, very posh private school in Los Angeles who just had everybody under her thumb." They also talk about how it was hard to come up with a name for the animal rights group because the craziest things they came up with were already taken (Eventually they chose Animals Or Else). And they talk about how they couldn't afford the original theme from The Courtship Of Eddie's Father, and so they used a cover version. And in the commentary to "A Tale Of Two Lesbians" they talk about getting great guest cast members in the series, including Elvis Costello.
Also included in the bonus features are deleted scenes from every episode. There is a deleted scene from "Goodes Gone Wild" that is excellent. And I love the garbage acid trip scene from "Freeganomics."
There are also a few short promotional spots, including "Meet The Goode Family," which features some of the actors and producers talking about the characters and idea of the show; "The Music Behind The 'The Good Family'," with the musicians joking about using instruments made from fruit and sticks and whatnot; "Getting To Know Helen Goode," with Nancy Carell talking about her character; and "Trying Hard" promo. There is also an animation test and an unaired PSA.
The disc also includes unproduced scripts for three episodes (that feature works on the computer).
The Goode Family: The Complete Series is scheduled to be released on January 8, 2013 through Shout! Factory.

I usually see the 投入{とうにゅう} on labels on ATM or train station gate. Is this kanji applicable to all flat input devices, or does it also include coin slot? I can only infer this means some sort of input because of the kanji 入. When I search this in the dictionary, it states investment or circuit. How do you define this word in general?
I also see 投入場, which seems to me to be describe receiving area.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Found a Solution?
Have you been able to find a solution for this? I've been trying to figure out how to compile my own theme for 1.5 days. None of the tutorials that I've found actually work.
14 Aug 2011 1:18 PM #3
I copied the "themes" folder from ~lib/touch/resources
to my custom folder ~public/resources/
then I changed the config.rb to:
load File.join(sass_path, '..', 'themes')
and finally referenced the new ccs in the index.html and commented-out the sencha-touch.css
that's the only solution that worked for me
28 Feb 2012 12:32 AM #4
Sorry please the themes folder in ~lib/touch/resources path is that in the Sencha touch folder or in the sencha folder my app folder?

I have installed the Titanium Developer 1.2.2 form my login account (on Mac system) and have done one demo project. I was able to see that working in the iPhone simulator. Now if I switch user and login to another account to run Titanium Developer there, it downloads and runs there but I am unable to launch any project there. The SDK Version simply shows as 'loading...'.
As a work around I opened a terminal window and typed
sudo abhilash (assuming my login name is 'abhilash') and entered password and launched the Titanium from command line. It opened my instance of titanium and detected the SDK version properly as 4.2 and when I click launch in simulator, it throws the following error
Now how do I make it working for the second user account? I have triend re-installing the xcode and titanium from the second user's account but no success :(
Kindly help!!

after seeing a tweet from my friend Felicia Sullivan today, i got inspired to come home and whip up a batch of Kale Chips.
Kale definitely lives up to its "super food" title:
One cup of kale contains 36 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and 15% of the daily requirement of calcium and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), 40% of magnesium, 180% of vitamin A, 200% of vitamin C, and 1,020% of vitamin K. It is also a good source of minerals copper, potassium, iron, manganese, and phosphorus. (from WebMD)
Kale Chips are a fantastic snack food – especially if you're vegan/raw vegan and you're missing that salty crunchy snack. not only is it nutritious, the recipe for basic Kale Chips seems SUPER easy:
- kale, de-veined
- salt
- pepper
i mean, can't beat simple ingredients. but after making a few batches at home, here are some helpful hints from a kale chip addict that will hopefully make your DIY Kale Chips easier:
- Cleaning: kale has so many beautiful folds & curly-ness — but that just means you have to be SUPER thorough when you clean it. dirt/mold/bugs tend to get stuck in the folds.
- De-veining: they always tell you to "de-vein" the kale, which usually means you pull the stem/spine away from the leaf. i don't know about anyone else, but that always results in me tearing the kale leaf – not cute. SO, rather than de-veining (pulling the spine away from the leaf) — just de-leaf it instead (pull the leaves away from the stem). this is far more manageable and this way, you have more control to make sure each "chip" piece is of equal size (see next tip)
- basic cooking principle: make sure each piece is the same size to ensure even cooking. we should never forget basic principles of cooking – even when making something as simple as chips. as best as possible – try to make sure each chip/leaf is of equal size so your batch cooks evenly
- coat evenly: whether you're making a simple Olive Oil/S&P Kale Chip recipe, or you're doing a more fancy version with a nut-mixture, you must make sure that each chip/leaf is evenly coated. this will also help ensure it cooks evenly
whether you bake or dehydrate your Kale Chips, the above tips should always apply. personally, i prefer dehydrating — even though it takes longer, i feel it retains more of the green kale flavor in the chips. but either will do!
- for dehydrator: lay out on dehydrator trays, dehydrate for minimum of 8 hours at 115°F.
- for oven: bake at 300°F for approximately 20 minutes (or until crisp). let cool
hope these tips are helpful for my fellow Kale Chip Addicts!

At the time of European discovery, Carib Indians inhabited the islands of St. Kitts and Nevis. Christopher Columbus landed on the larger island in 1493 on his second voyage and named it after St. Christopher, his patron saint. Columbus also discovered Nevis on his second voyage, reportedly calling it Nevis because of its resemblance to a snowcapped mountain (in Spanish, "nuestra senora de las nieves" or our lady of the snows). European colonization did not begin until 1623-24, when first English, then French colonists arrived on St. Christopher's Island, whose name the English shortened to St. Kitt's Island. As the first English colony in the Caribbean, St. Kitts served as a base for further colonization in the region.
The English and French held St. Kitts jointly from 1628 to1713. During the 17th century, intermittent warfare between French and English settlers ravaged the island's economy. Meanwhile Nevis, settled by English settlers in 1628, grew prosperous under English rule. St. Kitts was ceded to Great Britain by the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. The French seized both St. Kitts and Nevis in 1782.
The Treaty of Paris in 1783 definitively awarded both islands to Britain. They were part of the colony of the Leeward Islands from 1871-1956, and of the West Indies Federation from 1958-62. In 1967, together with Anguilla, they became a self-governing state in association with Great Britain; Anguilla seceded late that year and remains a British dependency. The Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis attained full independence on September 19, 1983.
As head of state, Queen Elizabeth II is represented in St. Kitts and Nevis by a governor general, who acts on the advice of the prime minister and the cabinet. The prime minister is the leader of the majority party of the house, and the cabinet conducts affairs of state. St. Kitts and Nevis has a bicameral legislature: An 11-member senate appointed by the governor general (mainly on the advice of the prime minister and the leader of the opposition); and an 11-member popularly elected house of representatives which has eight St. Kitts seats and three Nevis seats. The prime minister and the cabinet are responsible to the Parliament.
St. Kitts and Nevis has enjoyed a long history of free and fair elections, although the outcome of elections in 1993 was strongly protested by the opposition and the Eastern Caribbean Regional Security System (RSS) was briefly deployed to restore order. The elections in 1995 were contested by the two major parties, the ruling People's Action Movement (PAM) and the St. Kitts and Nevis Labor Party. Labor won seven of the 11 seats, with Dr. Denzil Douglas becoming prime minister. In the March 2000 elections, Denzil Douglas and the Labor Party were returned to power, winning eight of the 11 seats in Parliament. The Nevis-based Concerned Citizens Movement (CCM) won two seats and the Nevis Reformation Party (NRP) won one seat. The PAM party was unable to obtain a seat. Under the constitution, Nevis has considerable autonomy and has an island assembly, a premier, and a deputy governor general.
Under certain specified conditions, it may secede from the federation. In June 1996, the Nevis Island Administration under the concerned citizens movement of Premier Vance Amory announced its intention to do so. Secession requires approval by two-thirds of the assembly's five elected members and also by two-thirds of voters in a referendum. After the Nevis Reformation Party blocked the bill of secession, the premier called for elections for February 24, 1997. Although the elections produced no change in the composition of the assembly, Premier Amory pledged to continue his efforts toward Nevis' independence. In August 1998, a referendum on the question of independence for Nevis failed and Nevis presently remains in the Federation. The March 2000 election results placed Vance Armory, as head of the CCM, the leader of the country's opposition party. In September 7, 2001 elections in Nevis for the Nevis Island Administration, the CCM won four of the five seats available, while the NRP won one. Constitutional safeguards include freedom of speech, press, worship, movement, and association.
Like its neighbors in the English-speaking Caribbean, St. Kitts and Nevis has an excellent human rights record. Its judicial system is modeled on British practice and procedure and its jurisprudence on English common law. The Royal St. Kitts and Nevis police force has about 340 members.

St. Kitts and Nevis was the last sugar monoculture in the Eastern Caribbean. Faced with a sugar industry that was finding it increasingly difficult to earn a profit, the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis embarked on a program to diversify the agricultural sector and stimulate the development of other sectors of the economy.
The government instituted a program of investment incentives for businesses considering the possibility of locating in St. Kitts or Nevis, encouraging both domestic and foreign private investment. Government policies provide liberal tax holidays, duty-free import of equipment and materials, and subsidies for training provided to local personnel. Tourism has shown the greatest growth. By 1987, tourism had surpassed sugar as the major foreign exchange earner for St. Kitts and Nevis.
The economy of St. Kitts and Nevis experienced strong growth for most of the 1990s but hurricanes in 1998 and 1999 contributed to a sharp slowdown. Real growth was expected to be approximately 4.0% in 2001, compared with an estimated 7.5% in 2000, but actual growth is estimated at 2.0%. Tourism in particular suffered in 2001, with reports of only 20% occupancy. In late 2000, two hotels that had been damaged by hurricanes reopened, and cruiseship berths were repaired. Significant new investment in tourism, including a 700-room Marriott hotel and convention center scheduled to open in December 2002, as well as continued government efforts to diversify the economy, are expected to improve economic performance. Consumer prices have risen marginally over the past few years. The inflation rate was 3%-4% for most of the 1990s.
St. Kitts and Nevis is a member of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU) The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) issues a common currency for all members of the ECCU. The ECCB also manages monetary policy, and regulates and supervises commercial banking activities in its member countries.
St. Kitts is a member of the Eastern Caribbean Telecommunications (ECTEL) authority, which is developing the regulations to liberalize the telecommunications sector in the region by 2003.
St. Kitts and Nevis maintains diplomatic relations with the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Taiwan, Cuba and South Korea, as well as with many Latin American countries and neighboring Eastern Caribbean states. It is a member of the Commonwealth, the United Nations and several of its specialized and related agencies, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, the Organization of American States, the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States, the Eastern Caribbean Regional Security System (RSS), and the Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM). The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank is headquartered in St. Kitts.
As a member of CARICOM, St. Kitts and Nevis strongly backed efforts by the United States to implement UN Security Council Resolution 940, designed to facilitate the departure of Haiti's de facto authorities from power. The country agreed to contribute personnel to the multinational force, which restored the democratically elected government of Haiti in October 1994.
In May 1997, President Clinton met with Prime Minister Douglas and 14 other Caribbean leaders during the first-ever U.S.-regional summit in Bridgetown, Barbados. The summit strengthened the basis for regional cooperation on justice and counternarcotics issues, finance and development, and trade.
Since St. Kitts and Nevis attained full independence in 1983, relations with the U.S. have been friendly. The U.S. Embassy in Bridgetown, Barbados, conducts bilateral relations with St. Kitts and Nevis.
The United States seeks to help St. Kitts and Nevis develop economically and to help strengthen its moderate, democratic, parliamentary form of government. St. Kitts and Nevis is a beneficiary of the U.S. Caribbean Basin Initiative. U.S. assistance is primarily channeled through multilateral agencies such as the World Bank, the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), and the newly opened USAID satellite office in Bridgetown, Barbados. In addition, St. Kitts and Nevis receives counternarcotics assistance and benefits from U.S. military exercises and humanitarian civic action construction projects.
St. Kitts and Nevis is strategically placed in the Leeward Islands, near maritime transport lanes of major importance to the United States. St. Kitts and Nevis' location close to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands makes the two-island federation attractive to narcotics traffickers. To counter this threat, the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis cooperates with the U.S. in the fight against illegal narcotics. In 1995, the government signed a maritime law enforcement treaty with the United States, later amended with an overflight/order-to-land amendment in 1996. St. Kitts and Nevis also signed an updated extradition treaty with the U.S. in 1996, and a mutual legal assistance treaty in 1997.
St. Kitts and Nevis is a popular American tourist destination. In 1999, over 40% of the 84,000 stay-over visitors were from the U.S. The majority of the 143,800 yacht and cruiseship passengers also were from the U.S. In the aftermath of September 11, 2001, tourism declined by approximately 9%, according to American Airlines officials. Government officials cite the loss of airline connections, including those of U.S. carriers, between the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis and the U.S., Canada, and Europe as the critical factor. After 9/11 both U.S.-based and regional carriers have reduced the number of flights to the Federation. The number of "stay-over" visitors to the islands suffered a 10% falloff, and even though cruiseship arrivals increased, this situation remains unstable. Carnival Cruise Line recently pulled its liner, Holiday, out of the Caribbean, and Princess Cruises is reportedly rethinking its routing. The government, however, is optimistic, as the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) reports that the construction sector remained buoyant during the second quarter of 2001, although the pace of activity was at a slower rate compared to 2000.
Government officials are convinced that continued construction of a 900 room, U.S.$200 million Marriott Royal St. Kitts Resort and Casino and a Paradise Beach Resort and Casino at Frigate Bay, St. Kitts are signs of confidence in the economic future of St. Kitts and Nevis, despite the world-wide effects of the 9/11 tragedies. Fewer than 1,000 U.S. citizens reside on the island, although students and staff of Ross University Veterinary School and the Medical University of the Americas (Nevis) constitute a significant population of U.S. citizens.

text: All I can do is provide you with a lesson on the colorful cat that will be in Dreamworks new movie 'The Croods'. I really do wish I could tell you more about this character because he is obviously going to be an important figure in the film. From what I'm guessing, this multicolored saber-tooth cat is going to be the villain. His rainbow of colors makes him appear to belong in an Alice in Wonderland setting. He was great fun to recreate because of his odd look and character design. I keep saying "he" because that is what this character looks like to me, a boy. When there is more information out as to who this cat is, I will update the tutorial as soon as possible. In the mean time, just have fun drawing the green tiger from The Croods.

Regardless of interpretation, I find it intriguing that Proverbs 8:22 mentions how Wisdom was the first created by the LORD (apparently even before mankind). This Wisdom is present as a feminine entity given the use of words "her" further in Proverbs. Why is this so?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
That's a straightforward question that admits of no simple answer. Nor is it possible to answer it from within the Hebrew Bible itself. And, it must be added, all answers to this "why?" question contain an element of speculation.
It is important to identify the kind of question this is. Behind the "why" there lurks a matter of historical enquiry, although it obviously also has linguistic and literary parameters, as well as theological import. (Caveat lector! There is a large scholarly literature on this question, and any answer here can only be partial.)
The Data
To find an historical explanation for Wisdom's personification in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament (HB/OT) we need to know what we can call upon as evidence. That evidence will require an explanation, in that that explanation lies (potentially) the answer to our question.
Our evidence comes from different sources:
Summary - so we have (a) only a few relevant biblical texts; (b) the linguistic features of the key term; (c) the comparative evidence from the historical/cultural environment, and (d) the subsequent development of this motif beyond the Hebrew Bible itself.
This, of course, is the difficult part. Historians are not simply interested in "what happened in the past", although that is naturally part of it. They are also concerned to account for our historical record, especially when there are pieces of evidence tugging us in different directions.
How to explain what we have outlined, above?
Most would not see the grammatical gender of the Hebrew noun חָכְמָה ḥokmâ (or σοφία sofia in Greek) as playing anything more than a supporting role in any case. It didn't hurt, but neither is it sufficient to explain this development. (EVERY noun in classical Hebrew is gendered; quite a number refer to the Deity - why personify just this one?)
Probably the current explanation that enjoys widest adoption among biblical scholars is that Wisdom personified in the Hebrew Bible is a reflex (or remnant, if you will) of the "missing" Hebrew goddess.
This picks up the Egyptian influence to explain Proverbs 8 (etc.), via a couple more bits of evidence, one biblical (I'll limit this to the leading item), the other extra-biblical. (1) Within the Bible, you have Jeremiah's language of the "queen of heaven" (Jer 7:18; 44:15-26) which is portrayed as the long-standing, wide-spread customary worship of the Judaeans.
(2) Outside the Bible, you have the pithoi (pot inscriptions) from Kuntillet 'Ajrud with the striking phrase: "I bless you by YHWH of Samaria and his Asherah". Now, the meaning of this blessing has been much debated,3 but those who argue for "Wisdom = missing goddess" see in the "Asherah" of Kuntillet 'Ajrud something corresponding to the "queen of heaven" referred to by Jeremiah.
This explanation has not had universal assent, however. For those left unconvinced, the wider trajectory of "wisdom personified" in the Hebrew/Jewish tradition is sometimes seen as too variegated to admit of such an explanation. Others find the conjunction of the lines of evidence needed to sustain this conclusion to be too far apart chronologically to work.
Those who reject the "Hebrew goddess" explanation must then revert to one of the older constructs. The most prominent one has to do with the treatment of divine attributes in the biblical tradition: just as later rabbinic tradition virtually "personified" God's righteousness, so (this argument goes) God's wisdom was earlier personified (likewise, God's "spirit" (ruach) in the HB/OT fits into this scenario).
There is no final answer to the "why?" question as a matter of historical enquiry. Many scholars who are satisfied with the "Hebrew goddess" explanation recognize that it stops short of having final "proof": it is just the hypothesis that many today find best explains the data available to us in the absence of more persuasive alternatives.
Further reading - as mentioned above, there is a vast literature on this question. To plunge deeper, I would recommend starting with two chapters in: Wisdom in Ancient Israel, edited by John Day, R.P. Gordon, and H.G.M. Williamson (Cambridge University Press, 1995). See:
This book should be available in most seminary or university libraries.
The latest full, scholarly treatment is the published version of an Oxford doctoral thesis:
These both have a limited "preview" on Google Books.
Great question! I had never thought about that before, so I dug in a little. And as I examined the passage, I found a very significant literary device that I had never previously noticed:
Set Proverbs 7 and 8 side-by-side and you will notice several remarkable similarities/parallels between the two passages. Both present a long speech by a woman. Both women are described as "roaming the streets" (7:12, 8:2,3); both are inviting men into their homes (7:14-19; 8:34, 9:4), both have set an inviting table (7:14; 9:2,5), both chapters end with the word "death" (although chapter 8 has a postlogue in the first verses of chapter 9 that ends with "life"). Both mention the woman's "path" (7:8,25; 8:20), her "kiss/lips" (7:13; 8:6), her "love" (7:18; 8:17), and (maybe) even her "husband" (7:19; 8:22,30).*
Perhaps most significant is the contrast between how the speech in 7 begins and the one in 8 ends:
So, from just this cursory comparison I think it is evident that Solomon was intentionally juxtaposing these two women in order to make a stark contrast between the two "voices" that all men must choose between. (Both voices make one more curtain call in chapter 9 as well). In one, seduction is personified; in the other, it is Sophia personified -- both beautiful, attractive ladies.
I guess it is Solomon's way of asking: "So who's door are you going to knock on?"
*All of these references are from the NIV; I haven't checked the original language to see what parallels occur there.
In English we have three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter - "he", "she", and "it". Hebrew only has masculine and feminine. So just as a German would call a house a "he" because the word "house" in German is masculine in gender, so Hebrew calls wisdom "she" because it is feminine in gender. So when personified, wisdom becomes a woman.
Short version: The Hebrew word for wisdom, "chochmah", is feminine, and is therefore personified as a woman. Further speculation is unwarranted.
Good question.
In the context of the first few chapters of Proverbs, the compiler of the proverbs makes it very clear the book had its genesis in the throne room of Israel. Picture King David carving out some quality time with one of his children, Solomon, for the express purpose of teaching his son some of the lessons he has learned over the years. David, you'll recall, was a "man after God's own heart" (Acts 13:22; 1 Sam 13:14), and he learned many things in his relationship with his God, some the hard way.
David's purpose, then, was to instill in his son Solomon the godly principles which would guide and guard him throughout his life and his future reign as king of Israel. The pithy and memorably constructed proverbs of the day served to encapsulate important life-lessons in short, relatively easy-to-memorize stanzas.
Historically, at about the same time as Solomon was composing, pondering, searching out, and arranging many proverbs (perhaps 3000 or more), Amenemope had already written his The Wisdom of Amenemope, a collection of teachings in proverb form on civil service, which may have predated Solomon's collection of proverbs. Some of Solomon's proverbs bear a striking resemblance to some of Amenemope's aphorisms (see the NAS Bible, Updated Edition, Introduction to Proverbs, under "Author"). These "family resemblances" suggest Solomon searched all the proverbs to which he had access in his day and "cherry picked" the ones which suited his purposes (and God's purposes, of course!)
Since an important theme of the entire book is sexual morality and the importance of young people (particularly the male of the species; i.e., guys) keeping their lives free from the polluting effects of unprincipled and unbridled sexual activity, Solomon chose a woman to personify wisdom to serve as a righteous counterpart to the "immoral woman" who appears and reappears throughout the book. She is alternately labeled "the evil woman," "an adventuress," the "flattering foreigner," an "adulteress," and perhaps many other titles, depending on which version of Proverbs you happen to read.
In other words, the evil woman serves as a foil** for the woman who is wisdom personified. Or, they act as foils for one another, as the contrast between the two serves to clarify the differences between them. One woman, for example, is out to bring a young man to ruin, whereas the other woman has only his best long-term interests at heart. One represents immediate gratification followed by regrettable consequences, and the other, delayed gratification followed by gifts that keep on giving. Contrast, for example, the adulteress who is mentioned throughout the book with another woman, this time the virtuous woman, who is described in detail in chapter 31!
Was the personification of virtues a common feature of literature in Solomon's day? Frankly, I do not know. I will leave the answer to that question to another contributor who desires to research it. I will say, however, the Scripture does use "stock characters" who serve in pedagogical/analogical fashion to drive home some hortatory content (e.g., the "story" of two women--again!!--called Oholibah and Ohola, in Ezekiel 23).
Female imagery is used in both positive and negative ways throughout the Scripture. Positively there are both the woman Wisdom who lifts up her voice in Proverbs 8 and the "virtuous woman" in Proverbs 31, and negatively there are both the Great Harlot (or "Babylon the Great," of John's Revelation of Jesus Christ), and the
The Great Harlot serves as a foil for the pregnant woman who gives birth to a son.
Solomon's choice of a woman to serve as wisdom personified may have been his own invention, or perhaps he borrowed the concept from Amenemope or another writer either from or before his time. That he used a woman for his pedagogical purposes is certainly consistent with other such rhetorical tactics in Scripture, as I have already pointed out.
In conclusion, you will notice I have connected the woman wisdom to other personifications which use women to communicate certain truths, and I have done so purposely, in part, to avoid eisegesis. While your question focuses on the Book of Proverbs, the Scripture comprises 66 books, and more than occasionally the imagery which is used in one book or context is also used in another book or context, giving the Scripture a marvelous unity amidst diversity. That fact, however, is one which is worthy of development, albeit at another time.
**For an interesting (and short) article on the use of foils, see this web page.

When I place a video on my canvas......it will not play. It shows up in my library but still does not play when I export it. I have an mp4 and webm in there but still nothing.
Any ideas??
14 Aug 2012 3:02 AM #2
I got it working.....there was a problem with the video itself!!!
I have another quick question.....I have a scene with some animated text and video. The video is longer than the scene itself so when I have the command to restart the scene when it comes to the end......the video is still playing (it doesn't restart from the begining).
Does anybody have a fix for this??
20 Aug 2012 7:19 AM #3
You'll have to use a custom JS action at the start of the scene, to make sure the video is restarted.
Here is a starting point, make sure to set the ID of the video object to "my-video-id" (or change the id in the code to correspond with your video id).
This should restart the video on scene starts if needed, and will also do auto-play.
var videoContainer = controller.getElementById('my-video-id'); var videoElement = videoContainer.querySelector('video'); if (videoElement.currentTime) { videoElement.currentTime = 0.0; } videoElement.play();

5 Famous Movie Characters Who Wasted Awesome Superpowers
Superhero movies are so popular these days that even characters in other film genres are getting superpowers now -- like that movie about the stripper who is also a wizard, Magic Mike. Apparently, Hollywood's top writers are using their prodigious imaginations to come up with the coolest, most desirable powers ... and then doing nothing with them. Seriously, most of these characters use their incredible abilities to do one or two neat things and then forget they have them, when it should have taken them like five seconds to realize that they could have been doing awesome stuff like ...
#5. Pirates of the Caribbean -- Davy Jones Could Have Teleported His Way to Awesomeness
Walt Disney
At some point in the series of films based on Johnny Depp being an 18th century homeless man, we are introduced to Davy Jones, the ferryman of the dead who stopped doing his job and was punished by having his face replaced with a squid. That'll show him.
Walt Disney
He's the one on the right.
In addition to ruling the seas and having a pet kraken, Davy Jones can teleport anywhere that's involved with the sea. Hell, even his men can teleport; when his heart-in-a-box is stabbed, they all instantly appear next to him. We first see the teleportation when Jack Sparrow is looking at Davy far off through a telescope, then lowers it to find that he's standing right next to him.
Walt Disney
"You were warned about watching me change."
Later, Davy teleports between his ship and another ship and even walks through objects. Damn, how did they ever beat a guy who can use these powers in the middle of a battle?
What He Should Have Done:
Because he doesn't use them. Davy just sorta forgets that his powers go further than "looking super ugly," as movie villains tend to do with alarming frequency. When there's a pitched sea battle and the literal key to his heart is rolling around on a ship deck 20 feet from him, Davy looks desperate and worried and then takes time to cross swords with every douche in front of him.
Walt Disney
"If only I had long, tendril-like appendages with which to reach things!"
Why not teleport to the key? Or, failing that, just walk through every sword in his way, since he can apparently do that, too? During the entire battle, Davy teleports exactly once, when he should have been jumping all over the place. For instance, not once in this movie does Davy wait until Jack Sparrow charges at him with his sword, then teleport Orlando Bloom's character in front of him and watch as he gets stabbed in the dick. Not once. That sums up everything that's wrong with Hollywood today.
Walt Disney
Seriously, just a foot lower next time, Hollywood. That's all we ask.
It's like the curse that gave him a squid face also magically prevented Davy from coming up with a use for his powers that wasn't spooking people through jump cuts. Jones conveniently forgets everything about being a maritime god and, as a result, gets his ass handed to him by a drunken moron and his two girlfriends.
#4. Aladdin -- Jafar Could Have Just Hypnotized Everyone
Walt Disney
Aladdin is the classic kid's tale of how to lie your way into a girl's pants. The girl in question is Jasmine, the local princess. Jasmine is headstrong and spurns most of her would-be suitors, which saddens her father, the Sultan of Agrabah, because he doesn't want her to grow up to become some lonely tiger lady. The sultan wants someone who will make his daughter happy, so he tells her to marry someone she loves when she's ready.
Walt Disney
"Can't you put a little more effort into it, though? I don't think you're showing enough belly."
The sultan's vizier is Jafar, and we know he's evil because, come on, look at the guy's beard. Even before he gets hold of the magic lamp and wishes to become a sorcerer, Jafar already has some pretty cool supernatural abilities: He is able to hypnotize the sultan three different times using his snake staff.
Walt Disney
"I command you to submit to the staff. Wait, what are you doing? N-no! Stop!"
Using his powers, Jafar convinces the sultan to give him his family's ring and, later, his daughter's hand (and the rest of her body). Smooth, Jafar.
What He Should Have Done:
Why is Jafar only using his hypnotic powers on the sultan, though? According to the Disney Wiki, which we hold as the ultimate authority on both Disney movies and arcane magic, the ruby eyes in Jafar's staff caused "those who gazed into them [to] become susceptible to Jafar's suggestions and will." Nothing indicates that the staff only works on the sultan, so why didn't Jafar simply hypnotize Jasmine into saying, "Hey, Dad, I want to marry Jafar," and be done with it?
Walt Disney
It would be his greatest mistake that didn't involve facial hair.
Remember, the sultan flat-out says that he wants Jasmine to be happy and pick her own suitor -- in the end, he doesn't care if she marries some lowly thief or a creepy older dude. Therefore, it makes more sense to magically coerce her than it does the sultan. Or, you know, both. And Aladdin, too, while we're at it: When Jafar sends Al to the Cave of Wonders to retrieve the magic lamp, why risk the kid betraying him and keeping the lamp to himself? Jafar could have simply made Aladdin forget about the lamp as soon as he delivered it, rather than try to kill him, and saved everyone a lot of trouble.
Also, the first thing we saw Jafar use hypnosis for was getting the sultan's ring, something the sultan never asks for back, so it's safe to assume that even after the hypnosis wears off the suggestion is still in place. That means Aladdin 2: The Return of Jafar could have been Aladdin 2: Jafar Continues Being Sultan of Everything for the Foreseeable Future.
#3. Chronicle -- Matt Could Have Just Flown to the Final Battle
20th Century Fox
Last year's found-footage hit Chronicle managed to rake in over $100 million at the box office despite looking like it was shot by an iPhone. The movie answered the question every tormented nerd has always wondered: "What happens when you give a bullied teenager superpowers?" That answer, of course, is "He becomes Spider-Man." Or, in this case, "a psychopath."
In the movie, Andrew-the-bullied-teenager, Steve-the-popular-one, and Matt-the-forgettable-other-guy find an unexplained plot device that gives them telekinesis.
20th Century Fox
Yoshi-the-horny-exchange-student-with-the-accent was left out of the final cut.
The telekinesis lets the guys fly, shield their bodies from excessive physical harm, and even control lightning, but mostly they use it to act like huge dicks to everyone (so, like teenagers). That is, until Andrew accidentally kills Steve and his mental condition deteriorates, causing him to start exploding things with his brain and destroying the city like an emo General Zod.
20th Century Fox
"Kneel before Andrew!" just doesn't carry the same weight.
Forgettable Matt sees the explosions on TV and senses that his buddy is in trouble (oh, they're psychic too, apparently), so he and his new girlfriend drive there as fast as they can. By the time they reach the city, Andrew has gone even crazier, and it's up to Matt to unleash an atomic wedgie on his super-nerd ass.
What He Should Have Done:
Wait, what? We already told you they can fly. We've seen Matt play football in the clouds. He's almost beside himself with worry for Andrew ... so why does he waste precious minutes getting into a car and driving instead of just flying to him? Shit, if we had powers, we wouldn't drive anywhere. Or walk. We'd fly to pick up the freaking mail.
20th Century Fox
Also, why aggravate the little dude when you know how much he hates cars?
Here's what Matt got from driving: forced detours, closed roads, traffic, police roadblocks, and immeasurable wasted time. Here's what he risked from flying: a bunch of bugs in his hair, maybe.
Even if Matt doesn't want his girlfriend to know he has powers, he could just say "Stay here, I'll be right back" or "Hey, look behind you! It's John Stamos!" and fly off (that always works). Or, screw it, just let her see -- she discovers his powers anyway when levitating Andrew hurls his dad to the ground and Matt saves him. She definitely finds out when Matt flies into the air 10 seconds later, and just in case she's super dumb, she certainly finds out when she and her car are taken by Andrew to the top of the Space Needle.
20th Century Fox
This isn't screencapped from someone's TV, that's just how the movie looks.

Is it possible / legal to gain a copyright / patent over a somebody's else idea, changing / improving / altering something significantly?
This site, and my expertise, is confined to patents so I will not address copyrights.
Patents cover inventions - the structure of an apparatus, the steps to take to achieve a result, the configuration and operation of a system are examples. The patent law's broad list what can count as an invention ends with the words "or any new and useful improvement thereof". Yes, improvements to an existing idea are patentable if they are truly new and not obvious. Most patented inventions can be seen as improvements to something that went before.
OK, you get a patent on your improved dishwasher. That does not mean you can make and sell that improved dishwasher. The older, existing, dishwasher you are improving might have patents on aspects that the improved one you make and sell also has within it. If I have a patent on the power lawnmower and you add a seat, it is new and patentable by you, but it is still a power lawnmower. Neither you or I can make the improved lawnmower without a deal with the other.
Also - there are myths floating around about needing to make "a 15% change" to something existing in order to be able to get a patent on your new version. Of course there is no precise ruler to measure a percentage of change to an invention and the patent system does not think in that way. Sometimes a small change makes a big, and surprising, difference.

9 Comments add a comment
Only the Black/Red version in sizes 43 and 44 are $39.99
the rest are at regular price ($100)
I love the TrekSports, great for hiking. They have a bit more cushion/protection than the regular KSOs which helps with rocks/roots, and a lot better traction offroad in the dirt/leaves with their knobbier hiking-boot-like tread pattern.
Use code RMN10 to get an additional 10% off. With shipping comes to $41.94.
While you're at it, enjoy them for me. The wife said "no" thus shattering my savings.
Never heard of this store before, but went ahead and took a chance. At first, I added one more item to get free shipping, but then after the discount code, while one place still showed free shipping, when I got to the order page, it showed $5.95. So, in the end I just went for the shoes, the discount code and the shipping for the $41.94. Still a great price for these. I almost bit for the $50 price directly from the Vibram website earlier this week. By the time I talked myself into it, my size was gone
How do you figure out your size ?
@nanaejt: Convert to European, but remember these run very tight.
Use code: RMN10 for 10% off sale items, almost like getting free shipping.
(RMN15 gets you 15% off regular prices items)
I've ordered before from them, and their customer service is top notch. Hilarious, too. They answer your phone call with a loud: "MOOOOOOSE-JAAAAAAAWWWW!
I saw one of their delivery trucks on the highway last year... a sign on the back said "Driver is naked."
