You will be punished with many news stories about the sad state of the auto industry this week — just in time for the Detroit auto show opening to the media on Sunday — but none of those stories will break down the numbers like we do below. You see, after months of hearing that no one wants to buy American and no one wants big SUVs or trucks, it appears someone forgot to tell that to consumers.
American trucks still dominate the sales leader lists, as we told you earlier, comprising three of the top 10 sellers for 2008. Meanwhile, only two cars on the list, the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla, get 35 mpg or better on the highway.
So what were the biggest winners this year in terms of sales boosts? While cars like the Honda Fit and Chevy Malibu saw 40% increases in sales year-over-year, the big winner may surprise you.
The redesigned Lexus LX 570 SUV — with its 383-hp V-8, 14 mpg combined mileage rating and nearly $80,000 price tag — saw the biggest year-over-year boost in sales of any model, with an increase of nearly 220%. Its Toyota sibling the Sequoia, with its 15 mpg combined rating, saw a healthy 31% bump in sales. Now, these figures are a tad out of whack because these vehicles' overall sales numbers are lower than more traditional cars; only 7,915 LX 570s were sold in 2008. For comparison, Mercedes' GL-Class sold 23,328 units in 2008, down 11.6% from 2007, while the more affordable Chevy Suburban sold 54,058 units, down 35.4%.
Still, the fact remains that millions of people bought trucks and SUVs in a down economy with rollercoaster swings in gas prices. Even so, the Ford F-Series and Chevy Silverado were down nearly 25% each — but then, the gas-thrifty Toyota RAV4 was also down 21%.
We're not going to ignore the fact that many SUVs saw huge drops in sales, but that's also coming off extremely high records in sales the year before. Eight out of 10 of the vehicles with the biggest drops in sales in 2008 were SUVs or trucks. Below is a list of the top 10 cars, trucks and SUVs that saw the biggest increases and decreases for 2008.
GM has two of the biggest gainers, with the redesigned Chevy Malibu and Pontiac Vibe both seeing healthy sales in 2008. The Subaru Forester's spike in sales helped make Subaru the only automaker in 2008 that saw an overall sales increase.
*We only looked at cars with full production runs in both 2007 and 2008. Many of the biggest losers were obviously discontinued models. Those aren't included here, and nor are cars that were introduced in 2007 without a full year of sales, which would skew their 2008 gains higher.

The Benefits Of Bulk Gift Wrap
Gift Wrap is one of those things that you often rummage through your house for. You turn everything over, absolutely certain that you had at least one sheet of it stuffed somewhere. After a frustrated hour or more of searching, it's not uncommon to come up completely empty handed. It's just one of those magic things that tend to disappear. You always find yourself having to go down to the department, grocery, or card store to buy another roll, and you're several dollars in the hole all over again. One of the best ways to get around this predicament is to invest in bulk gift wrap!
Of course, with bulk gift wrap you'll have a wealth of wholesale wrapping paper and other materials available to you at all times. There's always some occasion popping up that requires gifts. It seems like it never ends. Birthdays, bridal and baby showers, weddings, holidays, you name it! You can make sure you're always prepared for wrapping presents no matter what. If you have a last minute occasion or maybe even, unfortunately, forget something special coming up until the very day it happens, you'll have one less thing to worry about when you go out to grab a gift.
The other great thing about bulk gift wrap is that it's available in all manner of forms. You can get big containers with several rolls or even assortments that have single sheets of varied size. Of course, you can also choose what sort of patterns you might want to invest in. There are plenty of assortments available that give you a wealth of differently decorated wholesale wrapping paper. Some might contain several different types of holiday themed paper, festive birthday prints, or maybe even a mix of a little bit of everything!
You can even opt into huge bulk sets of single colors if you like to keep it simple. After all, most bulk wrapping paper tends to end up in the trash anyway, right? On that topic, however, those of you that do try to carefully open packages slowly as possible to safe the paper for later reuse can save yourself a lot of trouble by having a nice store of clean new wrapping material just waiting for you. Ripping into gifts is half of the fun, after all.
Ultimately, buying into bulk gift wrap is absolutely a no brainer. Sure, it's a pretty cliched phrase, but it definitely applies here. Best of all, there's sure to be an assortment of wrapping material no matter what your current budget may be. The variety that bulk assortments opens up just keeps on bearing fruit! If you're tired of always having to buy more paper every single time you need a gift, you should consider getting a big assortment to save away. It's a huge time saver and makes the process of wrapping gifts for your friends and loved ones considerably less of a headache. After all, life is plenty hard enough as it is!

NEW YORK — The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is warning customers to avoid giving their credit card information to third-party websites that offer to retrieve lost property for a fee.
"Anyone looking to submit a claim for lost property needs to go through the MTA's official website," said MTA Police Chief Michael Coan in a statement. "There is no charge to submit a claim to any of the MTA's lost and found units."
The MTA said customers have been complaining that online searches have directed them to an official-looking website, www.lostpropertynyc.com. The website asks for personal information and then uses it to generate a bill to be paid online by credit card.
Coan, whose department has launched a criminal investigation into lostpropertynyc.com, said the website is also offering to assist taxi and airport customers who have left personal belongings behind.
The website implies that it contacts the MTA on behalf of customers to retrieve their lost property, but the agency said it only returns items to people who can prove their ownership. Its three lost-and-found offices, for New York City Transit, Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad, do not do business with any third-party company.
The MTA said customers can submit lost property claims free of charge online, by phone and in person. Details are posted at web.mta.info/mta/lost_found.html.
Last year, the three lost-and-found offices received 67,320 lost items and fielded 73,000 queries about lost items. They returned 34,572 lost items to their owners.

AbstractAurora will develop a novel composite sandwich structure that is capable of providing a coupled bending-torsional stiffness with nonlinear elastic effects, capable of achieving a tailored aeroelastic response over a wide range of flight conditions. Such a structure will make use of an additive manufactured core with highly tailored and optimized cellular substructure. The cellular structure will be functionally graded in the spanwise and chordwise directions to provide a coupled bending-torsional stiffness response. Fiber reinforced composite facesheets will provide strength. Utilizing the core structure to couple the bending-torsional stiffness of the composite may allow the composite to remain balanced and symmetric, thus avoiding induced stresses and/or warping during manufacturing.

Rwandan Regulator Revokes Rwandatel's Mobile Phone License
Rwanda's telecommunications regulator said it revoked Rwandatel SA's license after the East African country's third-biggest mobile-phone operator failed to comply with its license obligations.
Rwandatel must halt its services with effect from April 8, Regis Gatarayiha, acting director-general of the agency, told reporters today in Kigali, the capital. Cleophas Kabasiita, a spokeswoman for Rwandatel, couldn't confirm the revocation when contacted earlier today and wasn't available when called again later in the day.
"We thought they were not performing and, because of that, the competition was not what was expected," Gatarayiha said.
Rwandatel competes with MTN Rwanda, a unit of MTN Group Ltd. of South Africa, and Millicom International Cellular SA's Rwandan unit, Tigo Rwanda. The company had 443,534 subscribers as of August 2010, compared with 2.2 million for MTN and 529,114 for Tigo, according to the regulator.
Libyan African Investment Portfolio, a state-owned company, holds 80 percent of the Rwandatel, while the rest is held by the Social Security Fund of Rwanda. Last week, Rwandan President Paul Kagame said he would comply with United Nations resolutions requiring Libyan assets in the country to be frozen. The UN Security Council imposed the sanctions in an effort to halt attacks by Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi's regime on protesters.
Hotel Seized
The Rwandan government today seized the Libyan-owned Hotel Laico Umubano to comply with the sanctions, Finance Minister John Rwangombwa said in a separate interview. The facility will in future be operated by the Rwandan government, which previously held 40 percent of the business, he said.
"We are removing any Libyan influence, but the assets will operate normally," Rwangombwa said.
Gatarayiha said the decision to revoke Rwandatel's license wasn't related to the UN resolution, as the process of evaluating the company's performance began on Feb. 4, before an uprising began in Libya. The move was part of an effort by Rwanda to increase the number of mobile-phone users in Rwanda to 60 percent of the population by 2012 from 36 percent now, he said.
"If you have three operators with one that is not competing effectively, it's not helping the penetration rate," he said.

In Japan Hentai or Ecchi is the word used to refer to sexually explicit behaviour. Hentai, or what we call anime sex are pornographic comics and animation. One of the first associations between adult anumation and anime happened just before the release of "Fritz the Cat". Some US distributors tried to cash in on dubbed versions of two other aldult animations with X rated advertising material. The film was netevr submitted to the MPAA. One Thousand and One Nights remains the one of the worlds longest animated films. How come Anime Sex is so popular? The answer is easy. There is one big simularity between an adult film maker with an animesex designer. Both have a story they want to tell, one does it with a pencil and the other is dependant on people, camara's lighting and so on. The difference lies in the tools they use. The more tools the more mistakes you could make when telling the story. Anime porn lovers will tell you that anime sex animations or anime sex stories will get you way more aroused than regular adult movies.

DiDio & Lee Says DC Will Take the Time to Do "Watchmen"/Rebirth Story 'Right'
Comic Books
Random Thought! Age of Ultron #10 is the only comic that I own. It's Random Thoughts time! Get excited!
Link Thought! GraphiContent for comics (defunct). butterbeatleblog for popculture (forgotten). 411mania for wrestling review and the occasional CD review (no longer active). My Twitter account for random thoughts as they happen in real time (no longer private). My Tumblr for more randomness than everything else put together (depends on the day).
Random Thought! Is that supposed to be Hank Pym at the bottom of the cover? With the white hair? I've always thought it looks more like Noh-Varr, but it's got to be Pym, right?
Random Thought! Can you CGC a comic in a Polybag? Does that require a weird CGC specialisation that no all graders possess?
Random Thought! Age of Ultron #10 is the best final event issue of any Bendis event.
Random Thought! How does one top this when Ultron eventually returns? He's conquered the world from the future, killed almost every superhero, and, then, was defeated thanks to a secret flaw installed at his creation and hidden from his creator until the exact right time? This is one of those rare instances where you might argue that a writer 'broke' a character.
Random Thought! I don't know how much of this issue was known/planned when Avengers #12.1 was done, but Cory Petit lettered both and does a fantastic job on adding the new dialogue/captions to those eight pages. At no time do they look slapped on in an awkward manner. If you didn't know certain word balloons and captions were new already, there's no way to really tell.
Random Thought! If we can't blame Hank Pym for Ultron killing folks every year or so anymore, what can we blame him for?
Random Thought! In the Bryan Hitch-drawn issues of Age of Ultron, I got a Alex Maleev feel from a lot of his work and, here, Maleev provides some art. I kind of wish he drew the whole thing, acting as the Doug Mahnke of this event.
Random Thought! The best part of Angela's debut is the seeming randomness of the giant head she's standing on. Sure, it was later explained, but, here, it's just so fucking weird. I love it.
Random Thought! Bryan Hitch draws Wolverine weirdly. I've always thought that.
Random Thought! Who would have thought Wolverine and Susan Richards would make an entertaining duo?
Random Thought! "You won't be part of either team" seems like one of the more important lines in Age of Ultron #10. It says a lot about Hank Pym: he could be an Avengers or a part of the Intelligencia. But neither group wants him, really. Not heroic enough for the Avengers, not evil enough for the Intelligencia. He is the man without a home. Too crazy, too 'moral,' too self-absorbed… The periodic attempts to make Pym a heroic leader of a group seems to somehow miss the potential of the character. He sits in a weird grey zone that could be explored more fully, I imagine.
Random Thought! I actually find Ultron to be a pretty dull villain. Evil robot wants to kill humanity. Granted, the introduction of the Vision definitely gave Ultron an added depth that wasn't there before (or, I'd argue, it gave him depth period). Still he's rather limited, don't you think? Robot turns evil, wants to kill humanity, wants to kill his creator… ho hum. That he's one of the Avengers' top villains says nothing good about the Avengers. The most interesting parts of Age of Ultron has little to do with Ultron. He's a plot point. A means to an end.
Random Thought! "I know what I have to do." Hank Pym never learns. I guess we can blame him for that.
Random Thought! I think an opportunity for the Exiles to show up and set things right was missed.
Random Thought! The Bendis/Maleev Moon Knight takes place in a post-Age of Ultron #10 reality it seems, but the final issue of Moon Knight promotes Age of Ultron. That is what's known as a time paradox. (Not really.)
Random Thought! What happened to alternate future Wolverine and Susan Richards? The easy explanation is that they ceased to exist as a result of time 'breaking' and their future never happening. But, I wouldn't be surprised if, after laying low, they both pop up seemingly out of nowhere in a Bendis comic. Or, this is how Wolverine is in so many comics.
Random Thought! Noh-Varr does dick all against Ultron. This is also his final appearance as the Protector. Thank god.
Random Thought! There's something significant about Butch Guice as the artist to replace Bryan Hitch when time is altered. I don't know what it is, but it's there. Probably.
Random Thought! While clever, is the end of Age of Ultron a heroic triumph? Does it feel like the good guys managed to overcome the odds and defeat Ultron? Or does it seem like a puzzle that's solved — how do you travel back in time to alter history, but not too much? It's somewhat mechanical. Intellectually satisfying, but lacking emotion.
Random Thought! Age of Ultron #10 gave birth to Marvel Now nine months later.
That's it for this week. Thanks for reading. Later.
Random thought: how many articles can you wring out of this turd monkey of a series?
Apparently 7 going by the name of the article. I always enjoy his thoughts on Bendis' work.
This is only happening because time is broken.
Random Thoughts! I got excited.
I miss Random Thoughts.
I thought Dan Slott did a good job with Hank Pym in "Mighty Avengers" and I liked what Steve Englehart was doing with him way back in "West Coast Avengers", but on the whole, I agree that he's a character that many people don't explore.
Interesting point about Ultron being broken.
There are a few characters that Bryan Hitch draws weirdly. Wolverine is one. Thor on the Ultimates was another one. Something about unusual hairstyles, maybe?
Is the end of the series a heroic triumph? That's kind of my problem with a lot of the event series in the past ten to fifteen years. Too many of them end on a "Well, we succeeded… but look what we screwed up in the process."
"The introduction of the Vision gave Ultron a lot of depth that wasn't there before."
So you disliked the character from his first appearance in Avengers #54, but finally started to warm up to him in #57?
Random thought: "Age of Voltron" would be an awesome name for a series.
Just repeating what was already well said: you spent way more time thinking about this than Bendis did.
Derek, Pym has been a pearl in the storm all these years, ever since the Quesada era began. Slott's Mighty Avengers was awesome, and he and Christos Gage did great work with Pym in Avengers Initiative and Avengers Academy as well. A couple of the brightest books in a very dark period.
If there's one thing I can praise about Age of Ultron, it's the uniform Hitch designed for AoU Wolverine. Possibly the best look for the character yet, short of the second Ultimate uniform (which has a similar aesthetic, black bodysuit with yellow tiger stripes)
" How does one top this when Ultron eventually returns? He's conquered the world from the future, killed almost every superhero, and, then, was defeated thanks to a secret flaw installed at his creation and hidden from his creator until the exact right time? This is one of those rare instances where you might argue that a writer 'broke' a character."
I think it's a law of comics that once you turn a character into the "ultimate" villain, he/she can never be used to that degree again. The character can show up again, sure, but it's always to a lesser degree than their "top" appearance. Onslaught is a good example–after his original 1996 crossover, his few subsequent appearances were always less notable or impressive. Doomsday, too–once he killed Superman, he couldn't bloody well kill him again, so he just sort of became an occasional nuisance character.
I don't know. I think any character can be made to sound boring if you describe them dismissively enough. Batman, detective who dresses like a bat. Ho hum. Galactus, dude who eats planets, yawn. Ultron is creepy for all sorts of reasons. Yes, he is an evil robot who wants to destroy humanity, but there is (or should be, anyway), a particularly unwholesome attachment to Hank Pym permeating the character. He is obsessed with his "father," in terms of trying to surpass him, make him suffer, and yet also prove himself. Ultron isn't as above humanity as he thinks he is, yet he guises his actions in the typical place of the evil robot out to destroy humanity. He's basically an evil robot who cares, if evilly, about the concept of family. If done well, I think that's an interesting dynamic. I certainly don't see how it shows the Avengers to suck or be a broken concept.
Random thought: Chad, give up and admit to yourself Bendis, when it came to the Avengers, just wasn't a very good writer, and likely cared about what he was doing far less than you do. He's bad, and you should feel bad.
Other Chris, you're right of course. The "Avengers Academy" work on Hank Pym was also good and it built on what Dan Slott had done with him.
I didn't think of "Avengers Initiative" either! I must've been really off-form when commenting.
The only way Ultron can top what he did in AoU is by fighting Hank Pym, download his consciousness into Pym, erase Pym's own consciousness in the process and become The Superior Hank Pym!

Ed Powers and his seemingly never-ending army of neophytes out to grab a good time once again excel in this masterful take on the ultimate interview. For my money, the several minutes Ed spends chatting up these delightful, beautiful noncognoscenti is as powerful as the sex itself.
Ed first interviews and subsequently fucks a fresh young thing named Bobby West. Bobby claims she's "into sex", she's into having her butt and boobs slapped around a bit, too. Next a black beauty from Hawaii who promises she's never given head practices on Ed for the cameras. Quick learner, this one. Carmen and Michael are a couple who also have their video debut, but the best is gorgeous Mia, who meets and makes it with Dan, a fan of Ed's who has begged to be in one of these videos, Mia is so naturally beautiful that you can't take your eyes off her. Her body is model material. The tension really builds, as it's not in the bag that she's going to go through with this taping after all. Dan has to work his way into her heart, via her pussy. Once she's gotten past her stage fright, she turns into a lollapalooza, screwing Ed for the hell of it. Great stuff.

3rd Life Discovery – Doing Science Education Conference
March 18-19, 2016
Conference Center at the Maritime Institute (CCMIT)
Baltimore, MD
Conference Theme
Creating Connections – Biology in Action
The theme for the 3rd Life Discovery – Doing Science Conference (LDC) focuses on stimulating approaches to Life Science instruction that:
- Connect learning to life science careers in research and practice: What is it like to be a Biologist?
- Connect learning to current events: What is the relevance of Biology?
- Connect learning across institutions and settings: How do we build bridges across education settings?
Proposals should align with the objectives of both the K12 Next Generation Science Standards and the Vision and Change for Undergraduate Biology Education with an emphasis on the Practice of Science. The practices involve how scientists investigate and build models and theories in the life sciences. We welcome ideas that have proved to help parents understand careers in the life sciences. We are especially interested in demonstrated effective strategies of building networks with scientists – remotely and locally.
Proposals should also identify one or more relevant Pedagogical Track/s and Disciplinary topic/s.
Learn more about the Scope and Objectives of the Conference.
Learn more about the thematic tracks, pedagogical tracks, curriculum topics and sessions formats here.
Who Should Attend
Researchers and educators –high school through undergraduate – publishers, curriculum developers and all interested in organismal and environmental biology education are welcome to attend. Attendees from all disciplines seeking to connect educational approaches with the rich advances of Biology are also encouraged. Educators of informal educational programs such as nature centers and museums are also welcome. The LDC seeks to nurture communities of practice among scientists, educators and administrators to prepare the next generation for the dynamic advances in Biology.

First time pregnancy & type 1
Comments (7)
Hi, welcome! I'm 24 years old, type 1 as well. I'm turning 35 weeks. :) My pregnancy was unplanned as well and I had a miscarriage summer of last year. I was absolutely terrified that I was going to lose my current pregnancy! I've never had "tight" control over my diabetes (lowest A1c was at 7) and even though I've been doing the best I've ever done since finding out about the pregnancy I still struggled almost everyday with low and high blood sugars. My baby is perfectly healthy but definitely on the larger side! I may have to be induced a little early because of her size. You are perfectly capable of having a healthy pregnancy as a type 1, especially with tight control. My OB and Endo told me that a diabetic with tight control is at no higher risk than a person without diabetes. I know it's difficult but try not to worry and enjoy your pregnancy! There are lots of type 1's having babies out there! And if I can do it, you can too. None of us are going to have perfect blood sugars 100% of the time but what I've found most important is making smart food choices. Try eating more salads, veggies and high fiber foods. Try staying away from the simple carbs as much as possible and you will do fabulous. :) Congrats!!
But anyhoo... we did end up with a planned c-section. My little guy was 10lbs 6oz at birth. He is now 11 lbs 1oz at 6 weeks and is doing great!
There can always be complications with pregnancy, not related to diabetes. So just do your best. Go do all of your doctors appointments. And trust your body! Doctors aren't always right. They are there to help you, but don't be afraid to speak up if you don't like something.
Good luck and congratulations! Feel free to PAN me if u like.
I was scared too, but i'm over 35 weeks now and baby is healthy. I've been type 1 for 18 years. Don't let the doctors scare you, sometimes they can be too judging. As long as you keep good control of your numbers then you should be fine. I cut back on my bread, sugar and upped my intake of fiber and protein. Water is important too, drink lots of water, more than you've ever imagined! Also try to limit diet soda as well b/c the sugar substitue that's in it makes your body crave sweets and carbs.
Sarah- I am 35 and a type 1 and am pregnant for the first time...so I'm considered high risk for two reasons :) Rest assured that as long as you are taking care of your diabetes, you can have a healthy pregnancy and baby at the end of all this. I highly recommend reading this book -
Balancing Pregnancy with Pre-Existing Diabetes: Healthy Mom, Healthy Baby by Cheryl Alkon
Hi Sarah! I have had T1 diabetes since I was 6 and am now 29. This is my second pregnancy and although it means a million doctor visits it is SO worth it! I know that everyone is different but please don't be terrified. With today's technology and with doctors knowing so much more about diabetes, it isn't a life threatening thing to be pregnant with diabetes like it may have seemed back when you were 4.
I have had relatively uneventful pregnancies so far. It is a lot of work, and I would recommend getting on a pump if you aren't currently on one. It helps so much with keeping in control. Don't worry if you have a high blood sugar here and there, it is more about the trend. I see my endo once a week and we adjust my basal and bolus rates so that I can keep better control. Snacking is the hardest for me. I always want carbs, but I try to make myself go for fruits and healthier choices that won't effect my blood sugar as much - but we can't be perfect either!
My son was born at 37 weeks because I developed preeclampsia, but he was born very healthy. He had to be on a glucose drip for 24 hours because he was having a hard time regulating his blood sugars. That was the only issue. But he is a happy and healthy 2 year old now.
I wish you luck with your pregnancy and if you ever need to talk feel free to message me. Try to see that this is a wonderful thing and that with the help of your doctors you should be able to get through it and still be very healthy!
Type 1 Diabetic
Thank you for sharing your worries! I thought it was just me. I have type 2, and just underwent a donor egg transfer. It ended up failing, but in a way I was relieved. I had been having a hard time with my sugars due to the hormone meds, and was terrified of it causing a birth defect. I had a total meltdown yesterday, likely the meds, and was so worried, I didn't know if I wanted to try again. I work in the medical field and had spent the day reading about birth defects due to diabetes - not a mentally healthy thing to do!
Anyway, your post came at the perfect time for me! Helped me see that people can do it, and you don't have to be perfect all the time, and people do it successfully everyday. So, thank you all!
Best of luck

Okay, I apologize if this is a dumb question. I just installed WPTouch on a site and it's amazing. However, one problem. When you click "read this post" on the ipad or iphone (those are all I tested on), it takes them out to the regular version of the site.
Is that supposed to happen? If not, any ideas for fixing it?
Thank you!

It's a tale as old as time, but the newest version of William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" comes with a bit of "Downton Abbey" and "Gossip Girl" flavor.
The Julian Fellowes-penned script sticks closely to the classic — no gunfights and drugs a la the 1996 adaptation starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. The title roles are played by Douglas Booth ("Great Expectations") and Hailee Steinfeld ("True Grit").
A new trailer features "Gossip Girl" star Ed Westwick as the hot-headed Tybalt of the Capulet family, who taunts Romeo, "Come settle with me, boy!" (Actually feels like something Chuck Bass might've said on "Gossip Girl.")
He's joined by big names including Damian Lewis as Lord Capulet, Paul Giamatti as Friar Laurence, and Stellan Skarsgard as the Prince of Verona.
It's been quite a while since there was a big, classic adaptation of "Romeo and Juliet." But unlike Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 version, this one won't feature any nudity due to Steinfeld's youth (she was just 14 when it was filmed).
The new "Romeo and Juliet" hits U.K. theaters on Oct. 25, but has yet to get an American release date.

Prometto che questo e' il mio ultimo post sull'argomento. Dopo la "risposta" di Mark Shuttleworth alle critiche sulla questione Banshee scrivo solo per segnalarvi due post interessanti, due post opposti, li presento entrambi poi sarete voi a farvi un'opinione.
Il primo post "pro-Canonical" e' di b1ackcr0w:
"although the sums of money at this moment in time aren't huge, it's the potential future market that's important. Love them or hate them, Ubuntu have big ambitions for the desktop market, and they are just about the only credible group placed to achieve them at this moment in time. It's a lot better for everybody that they get issues with their revenue streams sorted while they're 5 figure sums than waiting till they're 7 figure amounts and it all has to go to litigation."
Il secondo post "contro-Canonical" e' di Lucas Nussbaum:
"we now have several proofs that Ubuntu isn't a volunteer-driven project, and that volunteer contributors should really decide whether they are OK with working for free for Canonical, or if their free time would be better spent on other projects where they actually have a chance to influence decisions."
Io ovviamente ho un opinione molto simile a quella espressa dal secondo post.

If you have troubles since the update to WordPress 4.5 please read this post before opening a new thread.
Hello Kriesi
excellent work with the themes really nice creative and functional work.
I recently updated to wp 3.0 and running the site in multisite nwtwok mode. My question is when I use my own logo for site #1 the same logo repeats for all the other sites in the network. I use the newscast theme for the multisite and it works if I upload the logo to skin1 or skin2 area but what about if I want the same skin but different logos for each site. Where does newscast picks the image from?
Thank you in advance,
The topic 'WP 3.0 multisite custom logo image location' is closed to new replies.

Sunday's Saint Patrick's Day celebrations are not expected to cause any significant problems for officers, various law enforcement agencies said.
Amarillo Police Department's Cpl. Neufeld said he doesn't expect anything out of the ordinary.
"We don't anticipate any increase in illegal activity or drunk driving," he said. "If there is, it's only by chance not because it's Saint Patrick's Day."
Texas Department of Public Safety Troop Gabriel Medrano said he thinks it will be a normal weekend. But he went on to say that the DPS Enhanced Patrols Program would allow troopers to receive overtime while patrolling the highways.
The Canyon Police Department and Randall County Sheriff's Office both said there are no special patrols planned for the holiday.
Lt. Dee Aduddell of the Potter County Sheriff's office said they are not doing anything special for the holiday.
"It's normally a pretty quiet event," he said. "But if [drunken drivers] out there, we're going to try and find them."

Skip to Main Content
In the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with nonthermal plasma (NTP), the additive effect of water on VOC decomposition is an important issue to be solved since water is contained in VOC exhausts. Although there have been disputed discussions on the additive effect of water on the decomposition of VOCs in NTP, a unified mechanism has not been established yet. Therefore, the additive effect of water on the NTP decomposition of dichloromethane, toluene, and methanol was studied in the range of water content from 0.0% to 2.0% at 298 K and 373 K. Consequently, no rate-promoting effect of water has been observed in the conversion of dichloromethane, toluene, or methanol from 0.5% to 2.0% of water content, and water addition increased CO2 selectivity and improved carbon balance to different degrees, depending on the chemical structures of these VOCs at 298 K. These findings suggest that the precursors of CO and CO2 are different from each other, that their selectivities are affected by VOC chemical structure and reaction conditions, and that the direct enhancement of the chemical interaction between nonvolatile reaction intermediates and water promoted COx formation. Moreover, it has been shown that the VOC chemical structure affects the synergistic effects of water addition and temperature increase on CO2 selectivities.

Folder is dropped automatically for IE8 on hovering for few seconds
Folder is dropped automatically in treeView, if user drags it and hovers it on another folder for few seconds( which is configured in Ext.tree.viewDropZone) in IE browser but, in firefox it is working fine.
For more info:-
In IE browser , if folder has any child folder then, with 'expand' event it is firing 'beforedrop' event of treeView due to that folder is automatically getting dropped to hover folder without dropping.
Thanks in advance for working solution.

I am unable to duplicate this. Is the drop actually taking place as if you drop the node?
What version of Ext4 are you using?
2 Oct 2012 10:24 PM #3
Folder is dropped automatically for IE8 on hovering for few seconds
Dear Scott,
Yes, Node is getting placed on node drop. But, if user delays in dropping node (means, after dragging if user holds that node and mouseover to another node) then it automatically drops that node in IE browser and in Firefox browser without user drop action, node is not getting dropped.
Yes, i am using ExtJS4.1 version.
Hope above information will help you.
Thanks in advance for working solution.
Rahul Srivastava
3 Oct 2012 4:10 AM #4
As mentioned, I was unable to duplicate this problem. Can this be seen in any of our online examples, or is it specific to your application?
Are you using Ext4.1.? can you specify the last number?
3 Oct 2012 4:55 AM #5
Dear Scott,
All examples available online doesn't have expand true on mouseover, so can't give you online example for this.
I am getting above issue only when i am trying to drag any folder on any other folder which has child then on mouseover that destination folder executes a ajax call to expand that folder. After expanding that folder it fires 'beforedrop' or 'drop' event (without dropping of drag folder to destination folder) of treeView. But, as i said earlier, in firefox 'beforedrop' or 'drop' events are getting fired only after dropping drag folder to destination folder.
I am using ExtJS4.1.0 version.
Hope this will help.
Thanks in advance for working solution.

The plugin ignores draggable option (at least it is not documented) all other options you set are default or not pertinent to the problem.
Nevertheless, running IE9 in IE8 mode at http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/ext-4.1...two-trees.html does show the behavior you describe.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Drag a not-expanded node from left to right
2. Drag another node from left to right and hover the mouse over the node dragged in step 2 (don't drop)
3. After a while the dragged node is dropped automatically

ATLANTA (AP) - Two of Martin Luther King Jr.'s children say they
were not aware of the details of an $800,000 licensing deal with a
memorial foundation brokered two years ago by their brother.
Bernice King and Martin Luther King III acknowledged Wednesday
they generally favored the agreement between The King Center and
the foundation building the national memorial to their father. But
they say it was handled badly by their brother, Dexter King, and
was struck without their involvement.
The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Foundation paid the $800,000
fee to the King estate in 2007 to use the civil rights icon's words
and images in fundraising materials. The two siblings say they
found out about it through the media.

Top tips for spring cleaning your blinds, curtains and shutters
Be the first to leave a comment
Now that March is here, I've started thinking about giving my home a good spring clean. There's something satisfying about freshening up your rooms after the long winter months. From mopping the floors to cleaning your windows, it's time to blow those cobwebs away in preparation for the season ahead. Of course, having sparkling windows is no use if your chosen window dressing is looking a little dusty. Follow my top care tips and your blinds, curtains or shutters will soon be looking clean as a whistle!
Vertical blinds
The clever upholstery attachment on your vacuum cleaner is ideal for cleaning Vertical blind louvres. You can even wash certain fabrics by hand, or pop them in the washing machine for an intense clean. Be sure to contact our customer services team to check that your chosen fabric is washable.
Roman blinds
The upholstery tool on your vacuum cleaner will also come in handy for cleaning Roman blinds. Provided you haven't chosen a blackout lining, you should also be able to dry-clean your blind too.
Roller blinds
Roller blinds are simple to dust down – just use a clean, dry cloth.
Venetian blinds
Venetian blinds are also easy to dust down – just use a dry or damp cloth. Be gentle though, as too much pressure can cause the slats to bend. For Metal Venetian blinds that are particularly dirty, use a mild household detergent. This can also be used on Wood Illusions blinds.
Wooden blinds
Carefully clean Wooden blinds using a dry or slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Pleated blinds
Dust Pleated blinds with a clean, dry cloth. Be sure not to press too hard though, as this can damage the pleats. When it comes to cleaning Pleated roof blinds, a simple hairdryer is a useful tool! Use it to remove any debris from the back, then vacuum.
All curtains can be dry-cleaned but a minimal amount of shrinkage can occur with some fabrics, which could be up to 5%. Regularly using the upholstery attachment on your vacuum cleaner can minimise the need for dry-cleaning. Be careful not to press on any hems though, as this distorts the curtains.
Cleaning your shutters is a piece of cake – just use a dry or slightly damp, lint free cloth.

Suspicious package clears Times Square streets
Published: Friday, May 7, 2010 at 1:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 7, 2010 at 1:13 p.m.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Police have cleared streets around Times Square after finding a cooler left on a sidewalk on the same block where a failed car bomb was found over the weekend.
NYPD spokesman Paul Browne says police have created some distance between the cooler and people. He says they are ''in an abundance of caution'' and looking into whether the cooler was abandoned by someone.
Browne says no buildings have been ordered evacuated. Three blocks around Times Square were closed as a precaution because the cooler was found about a block from where a failed car bomb was found Saturday night.
No other details were immediately available. The call was received about 1:15 p.m.

(PORN VALLEY, CA) -- JJF president, Jennifer James, will direct eXXXtra, eXXXtra, the first adult feature film produced by Egoist Entertainment. Filming is scheduled for the end of February on set at FilmWerxs The Loft Sound Stage in Los Angeles.
Dana Devine and Mark McGirth are the hosts of the wildly popular TV entertainment magazine, eXXXtra, eXXXtra, where the movie stars, celebrities, and power brokers of Tinsletown are "scooped" on the daily escapades of their wild sex lives. As Dana Devine explores the sexuality of others, she searches for a scorching passion that will melt her own lifelong frigidity. She is also facing the most difficult challenge of her career. In order to keep her threatened job, she must land the interview of the year... to find out the lurid sexual details and real story behind the three bad girls on the scene today (Paris, Britney and Lindsey).
Ripped from the blazing headlines of such magazines as Star, US, and The National Enquirer, eXXXtra eXXXtra will give a fun sexual spin to the hottest celebrities and coolest stories of our time.
All of Egoist Entertainments films will be written with the sexual fantasies and desires of women and couples in mind. Each feature will match the hottest talent in the adult industry with storylines that combine sensual fantasy, hardcore sex and a fully realized story to which viewers can relate.
Jennifer James says "Our industry was built by guys like Brian Scott; strong, independent producers with a clear vision of the erotic, and the courage to follow their hearts. I am very confident that he not only survive but will go far in this business.
Brian returns his directors praise, Im thrilled to have Jennifer James on this project. Egoist Entertainment and Jennifer James Films have the same vision for making women and couple friendly feature films. Jennifer is doing so much more than just direct, she wrote the script, is handling casting and location scouting. She has a long-standing reputation in producing quality adult feature films and Egoist Entertainment is very fortunate to be learning from and working with Jennifer James.
eXXXtra, eXXXtra stars Sunny Lane and Kurt Lockwood, as Dana Devine and Mark McGirth, respectively. The remaining talent will be announced as the casting is completed.

In 1986 I was at the steam plant just before they shut down the last boiler and, along with a group of five or six of us- me, several dejected steamfitters, and Steve Blewett (of WWP), we each, in turn, pulled the lanyard on a huge steam whistle, charged by that last boiler, as the dying bellow of that huge old machine just before they shut off the (by then gas) fire on the last boiler for good. It was great- the sound was so deep, loud and rich as to take your breath away and it bellowed and echoed all over town for twenty seconds after sounding the whistle. I am sure that everyone within a mile, at least, inside or out, heard the seven or eight times we fired that whistle and wondered what the heck was going on. At one time in Spokane's history that whistle was blew every day at noon and sent all of downtown on their lunch breaks. When I say "whistle"- this thing was three feet long and took two people to carry safely. It was beautiful- heavy brass and built like old stuff was- to last forever. It may be around there still. The steamfitters at the plant ran a steam line way across the room and out the window on the train deck, installed a 90º elbow, screwed on the whistle and valve, and gave it steam pressure. We had to stand on a ladder to reach the lanyard on the valve and it took all you had to pull it, unsteady as the ladder was. It wouldn't sound until we were almost hanging from the rope, forcefully letting off a huge cloud of steam with the raucous sound. I couldn't believe how it resonated and echoed off of various downtown buildings. And such a hearty organic sound. Like the old steamship whistles- real bass and very loud. A good memory except that I went in for hernia surgery at 8:00 am the very next morning! I was very happy to have this photo project to distract my thoughts that day.

When Avista wanted to increase awareness of the benefits of natural gas, helveticka and J. Craig Sweat Photography stepped up to the plate to produce a new print ad. We scouted locations, ending up choosing my friends Pat and Janet Smith's kitchen, then considered various "lifestyle" scenarios and looked for fitting talent. As the idea became more refined we assembled food and props for a summer "dinner party" and finally went to shoot. Several hours later, we had our shot, with outside light variations through sunset. For a large-set shoot it went well and we got good advantage of the fine summer evening. It was a fun session and we did no damage to my friend's home, happily.
CK Anderson of "helveticka" asked us if we would help his agency produce a series of photographs of T-shirt designs from the "Helveticahaus" site for a design competition. Helveticahaus is a non-profit organization and website set up by CK to celebrate the widely used (and his favorite) "helvetica" type font, good typography in general and as a way of using this connection to do a bit of e-commerce and fund scholarships for future talent. It was a beautiful evening (and smokeless) and it all went smoothly for five set-ups in the up-and-coming creative neighborhood around helveticka's new building. All just behind the old Armory building (Wild Walls).
Avista Utilities has taken a financial interest in the Palouse wind farm that you will see as you drive from Spokane, Washington to Pullman, Washington. While they do not own the wind farm, they have a deal wherein they will buy all of the power generated by the turbines for thirty years. The Palouse has been one of my favorite subjects for many years and this addition has caught my eye more than once. I made a few images of the site at a good time of day on my own one day and eventually was asked to show them to one of Avista's marketing people for a specific ad. As we discussed the use of my image it became apparent that they had little or no great photography of this site, even with its sweeping and extraordinary location. We arranged that J. Craig Sweat Photography, Inc. would go there at the right time, on the right day, and cover it for them in as many ways as possible. J. Craig Sweat Photography, Inc. delivered a gallery of 284 images and they made a number of selections right away.
Spokane International Airport Fire Station: Architectural Photographer J. Craig Sweat Photography, Inc.
Here are some images of the Spokane International Airport Fire Station, courtesy of US taxpayers and Integrus Architecture. J. Craig Sweat Photography, Inc. was asked by Integrus Architecture to photograph the structure; both interior and exterior. Be glad these folks are here for us. Nice people, great building. The facility has a workout room where the Fire Fighters can maintain a healthy fitness level. The main bay of the building houses three serious fire trucks, two that are each capable of holding 30,000 gallons of water as well as a fire deterrent foam. The new building was moved to near the center runway to help with speed of deployment and allow greater access to the whole airport. A first class facility that we all hope is never needed for its greatest purpose.
Bouten Construction is a well known and respected name in Spokane. You cannot look at a view of our city without setting your eyes on Bouten projects. A high level of craft and a quality finish are what they are known for and they haven't been afraid to take on some of Spokane's largest building projects. Very nice, very sharp people was the impression I was left with after the entire office staff came through our studio, one at a time, giving us a chance to converse and get to know them just a little. These are people who really live their work. They know what they're doing and approach a project with a healthy and productive attitude. We worked with helveticka to create images that really spoke to the brand of Bouten. Read helveticka's blog here: www.helveticka.com/news/
These last few months we had the honor of working with design agency "helveticka" on a new and separate venture they have started. The idea; to create a Scholarship fund for area design students based on the culture around the font "Helvetica". CK and Linda like the font well enough to have named their design business after it, almost. The font is timeless in its simplicity and grace but feels modern. The new site and scholarship fund are under the name Helveticahaus. Below are some of the images we produced for the site as well as one behind-the-scenes shot of one of the sets. CK's is a great idea which should grow with a thousand heartfelt "thank you"s.
Inga Hansen, Exec. Editor of MedEsthetics (and other) magazines saw our website and, according to her, "really hoped we could do this project". She and I went over the job, settled on a budget, then we made our arrangements with Spokane Dermatology Clinic. Jayce Charlesworth helped us greatly from inside the practice and we took the better part of our day there, shooting in a dozen different areas. It is an impressive, brand new, except for the basic structure, building and houses Dr. Werschler's research company as well- a growing and sizable operation itself. The work was published as a three-page story and the magazine cover art in this month's issue, and online, of course. The good Dr. Werschler was a pleasure to work with.

Sheila, daughter of Michelina Tyrie, called and asked if we could make some images of her mom for the Steinway Piano Company. You can see the story, as published, at this link: http://www.steinway.com/news/articles/constant-companion-michelina-tyrie-counts-more-than-five-decades-with-her-steinway-piano/
Michelina opened her comfortable home to us so we could photograph her and the Steinway piano she bought in 1961, at age 26, from the Chicago showroom. It is a 1923 Mahogany Louis XV Model A. She fell in love with this beautiful instrument partly because it was alone in a room of black pianos. It really is an exquisite piece of furniture, ignoring completely the superb sound it produces with Michelina's subtle touch. She is a fine musician and plays regularly, professionally in addition she also offers classes. Her daughter Sheila clearly loves and admires her mom and the Steinway folks think she's someone special too. It was a fun couple of hours, with us the beneficiaries of some beautiful music.
Integrus Seattle and Spokane Portraits as well as Candids. Integrus Architecture, for whom we occasionally photograph finished building projects, asked us to show their staffs and culture through images of their principals as well as working candid images of everyone during a normal workday. Given the qualities of the location and the intensity of their work, taking an unobtrusive "fly on the wall" approach to these candids offered a wealth of opportunities. It was great fun as I stated several times "I'm not here" to avoid affecting the meetings and allow them to focus on their work. The reality of this method shows in the images and is a truer reflection of the intensity and collaboration required of their high-stakes trade. The video was produced by Spokane's ILF media (and not us). We have included a link to it to give a little more depth here. This project (and the video) was partly motivated by Integrus's 70th anniversary in business.
CK Anderson, principal of "helveticka" design agency in Spokane took it upon himself to recognize the considerable legacy of architectural modernism that Spokane enjoys. He did so publicly and powerfully with this full-blown exhibit at the MAC. Direct connections to Walter Gropius (founder of the Bauhaus school) and, by extension, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright exist in our Spokane architectural community and many examples of superb modern building are here to be discovered. The exhibit was titled Mid-Century Modern and was a very thorough treatment of this design movement in our fair city. We documented the installation and contributed a few of the many images presented.
This really is a noble history and the legacies of the talented players still exist in several current Spokane firms, including ALSC Architects, Integrus Architecture, and NAC. All firms of extraordinary talent and all clients to us here at JCSP. (We did not author the attached video productions; they are included to more completely tell the story)
For many years we have worked with helveticka (formerly Anderson Mraz Design) on many client projects as well as directly with CK Anderson on their own public presentation, including samples like this. The tactile aspect of good print media is best represented by showing the real publication as an object of beauty. The use of consistent backgrounds and fairly organic lighting has been successful in showing projects on their web site and their other project presentations. This simple, modern approach suits the helveticka aesthetic and feel, giving credence to their range of skills and the level of design at which they execute. Complexity is the trend in our culture, simplicity is harder (and better). CK (and his retired partner John Mraz) have built a top-tier design firm in a relatively small market. We wish CK and his crew more success and will continue to bring our best game to our collaborative projects. The sample in this image was photographed (cover and content) by Jim VanGundy, another friend and great Spokane photographer. You can view the image in use here: helveticka: NOVAGOLD
Two projects: The Avista 2013 Annual Report and Avista's 125th Anniversary book. First, we spent many hours poring through our archives to find a large number of images done through 25+ years of our working with Avista Corp. on every kind of project. With Spokane design firm Klündt Hosmer at the design helm and Jessie Wuerst as our client, we supplied many legacy images for print advertising, large display panels, and web use. A beautiful book was eventually published with many of the same images. 125 years is a great run for any company and Avista deserves great credit for nurturing deep roots in its civic involvement in our area, and for keeping the lights on.
You can view the video filmed by mojolab and put together by helveticka below.
Damon Orthodontics connected with J. Craig Sweat Photography a while back to update their staff photography and refresh their website. We worked at their well-appointed offices with the idea of keeping each person in their regular work context to better represent the patient expectation and to keep the staffers comfortable for their session. We did some lighting of each individual, given the awful light quality of overhead office lighting, and used some of the ambient and the window light. This required paying close attention to matching the color of our lights to the rest to avoid real problems with color-divergent sources. This was a full day of production, working fast, including the group image which was fully lighted. Dr. Damon has a great crew and they were very hospitable to us. They
I spent last weekend with some friends at a family cabin on the river outlet of Lake Pend Oreille. It was late at night, perfectly still and very clear, the sky rife with stars. Orangy lights from LaClede, a few miles away, are touching the thin cloud cover with Sandpoint's lights off in the distance. With a big bonfire burning down, it was a sublime evening.
Craig's old friend John Mraz worked for months, with the kind of attention only John can muster, to design and build this dining table for his daughter's family. He used parts from an out-of-service rod weeder that was at the Mraz family farm near Colton, Washington. It's really well done and real heavy and will likely outlast all of us. John and his brother sat in for this shot for fun. I want John for father in law.
As a Photographer in Spokane, Washington it's nice to get into some bigger hard-labor work now and again. HydraFab is a successful machine and fabrication shop in Spokane with a huge shop and plenty of work. These nicely finished stainless steel items are made to hold a bunch of cooling tubes for industrial purposes. These folks know their way around metal fabrication, the finish is beautiful. The challenge here is the location- it is a shop and though it is well maintained and clean it's not spotless, and then the scale of the projects. This item was roughly 12 ft. tall and 20 ft. in length. Big lighting and a big set are unavoidable. The HydraFab crew is great to work with- they appreciate what we're trying to do and they are confident and capable in their own work. Another Spokane success story that is low-key, but a good part of Spokane's industry.
A simple project but not unusual in the life of the commercial photographer. To photograph these nicely-built trade show displays, we brought in very light portable lighting. The light in most halls is not good for photography, so I wanted to add just a title to make our subjects "pop". This is documentation and thus strait forward as production goes. helveticka (formerly Anderson-Mraz Design) designed the graphics for these portable displays. Revett Minerals was helveticka's client. We executed before the show opened for obvious reasons.
Scott Sloan of Market Vision invited us to go to Portland and set up for a day at the Englander Mattress factory showroom to photograph a brand new line of mattresses. About 30 mattresses later and another session for mood and detail images, we flew back to dear old Spokane. Not a bad way to spend the day. We rented lighting gear in Portland at Pro Photo Supply and produced the work at the factory showroom.
In the interest of producing "working" images of the professional staff at NAC Architecture, we made a trip over to the Seattle area when a full-staff NAC meeting was scheduled to photograph as many of their people as possible, in action. Staff embers from their four city offices converged on the Cedarbrook event center (a superb setting) near SeaTac Airport. We wanted to focus on individuals, but as they collaborated and worked through their agenda, and with candid photographic approach. It was kind of a "fly on the wall" approach, with the idea that we asked them, as a group, to ignore us and work as if we were not there. This approach was actually pretty effective and many useful images were produced in a fairly short day, all while not impeding their group purpose. I actually believe we photographed everyone present, at least to some extent.
