Beyond standard dialogs
Dialogs are a sub-type of modal windows, and the examples covered here are for standard material system dialogs. (Other modal window constructions aren't covered here because they have too much variation, such as branded buttons for purchasing flows, non-standard UI form elements, or unique layouts.)
Reduce interruption
Use dialogs sparingly because they are interruptive. Their sudden appearance forces users to stop their current task and focus on the dialog content. Not every choice, setting, or detail warrants interruption. Alternatives to dialogs include menus or inline expansion, both of which maintain the current context.
Dialog prominence
Dialogs should never be obscured by other elements or appear partially on screen. Dialogs always retain focus until dismissed or a required action has been taken, such as choosing a setting.
Dialogs should avoid:
- Opening dialogs from within a dialog
- Containing scrolling content
Full-screen dialog exception
Full-screen dialogs may open additional dialogs, such as pickers, because their design accommodates additional layers of material without significantly increasing the app's perceived z-depth or visual noise.
Scrollable content exception
Some dialog content requires scrolling, such as lists of ringtones.
- For scrollable lists of options, the dialog title remains pinned to the top. This ensures that a selected item remains visible with the title, regardless of the item's position in the list.
- Otherwise, the title scrolls off with the content. Actions always remain in place when content scrolls.
Dialogs are separate from the underlying parent material and do not scroll with it.
Displaying additional content
To disclose additional content in a dialog, do so using inline expansion within the content area. Or consider alternative components that are optimized for large amounts of content.
Dismissing dialogs
Dialogs can be dismissed by touching/clicking outside of a dialog or by using the system back button (Android). Alternatively, dialog behavior can be overridden so that users must explicitly choose one of the actions.

The seventh volume in Knopf's critically acclaimed Complete Lyrics series, published in Johnny Mercer's centennial year, contains the texts to more than 1,200 of his lyrics, several hundred of them published here for the first time.
Johnny Mercer's early songs became staples of the big band era and were regularly featured in the musicals of early Hollywood. With his collaborators, who included Richard A. Whiting, Harry Warren, Hoagy Carmichael, Jerome Kern, and Harold Arlen, he wrote the lyrics to some of the most famous standards, among them, "Too Marvelous for Words," "Jeepers Creepers," "Skylark," "I'm Old-Fashioned," and "That Old Black Magic."
During a career of more than four decades, Mercer was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song an astonishing eighteen times, and won four: for his lyrics to "On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe" (music by Warren), "In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening" (music by Carmichael), and "Moon River" and "Days of Wine and Roses" (music for both by Henry Mancini).
You've probably fallen in love with more than a few of Mercer's songs-his words have never gone out of fashion-and with this superb collection, it's easy to see that his lyrics elevated popular song into art.
About the Author
Praise For…
"This is the seventh volume in one of the most worthwhile scholarly enterprises of our time, the effort to collect all the lyrics of the great pop songwriters of the 20th century. . . . The scholarship is impressive . . . a labor of love . . . Amazingly prolific . . . Mercer tended to think of each lyric as complete in itself, a little poem . . . He seemed comfortable across the entirety of America, and said as much in song: 'Any place I hang my hat is home.' But he always kept up his connection to the South, which provided him with the inspiration for much of his best work. . . . The other great lyricists had many ear-bending adjectives in their quivers. But none of them ever came up with a more perfect word for a song than Johnny Mercer did when his Southern unconscious gave him the gift of 'huckleberry.'"

MIAMI (AP) - The prosecution's case against Brazilian race
driver and "Dancing With The Stars" winner Helio Castroneves is
nearing an end in Miami federal court.
Prosecutors expect to rest Friday after nearly four weeks of testimony.
Then it will be up to the defense to put on a case for Castroneves, his business manager-sister and a Michigan lawyer.
All three are facing more than six years in prison if convicted
of tax evasion and conspiracy involving $5.5 million.
Prosecutors have used witnesses and documents in an attempt to show Castroneves sought to illegally shelter his money overseas and eventually move to Monaco to escape U.S. income taxes.
The defendants deny wrongdoing. Castroneves has said he relied
on professionals to handle his finances.

Standard drive- and file-wiping tools are no longer adequate for completely removing data — especially when used with the newest hard drives.
But researchers have identified new procedures that reliably make old data virtually unrecoverable on any drive, whether magnetic or solid-state.
Leftover data is an obvious security risk when you sell, give away, or otherwise dispose of any computer storage device. Any data — old documents, files, financial records, passwords, photos, whatever — left behind on a hard drive can come back to haunt you, should they fall into the wrong hands.
Most Windows Secrets readers already know that simply erasing files or reformatting a drive doesn't mean your data is safely removed. There are plenty of undelete and unformat tools (many free) readily available that require no special skills to use.
That's why, for years, the common advice has been to sanitize or wipe a hard drive before it leaves your possession. The process most often used is overwriting, which typically replaces all existing data with meaningless patterns of ones and zeros.
That's the theory, at least.
Erasing everything is actually not all that easy
It's been known for some time that even a multi-pass (so-called "government") wipe of traditional magnetic drives leaves behind some data — information that might be recoverable by someone with enough access, time, and forensic technology to analyze the drive's platters.

NHL HomeGrown
|Minnesota Wild
|Marion Gaborik (AP)
The wild are the youngest team in the NHL, along with their expansion brothers in Columbus, so you aren't going to have a team with gray-haired veterans. Whether that's a good or bad thing is yet to be seen.
Line 1: Benoit Pouliot -- Mikko Koivu -- Marian Gaborik
Gaborik was the very first selection by the Wild, taken third overall in the 2000 draft. He's also the franchise's best player and it's not really close. He'll go back to top billing in Minnesota alongside Koivu, who is a legit top-line center. There aren't a ton of left wings that jump off the page, so it's Pouliot's spot unless we start flipping wingers' sides.
Line 2: Jason Zucker -- Pierre-Marc Bouchard -- Ryan Jones
A line of questions, no doubt. Zucker is a very highly touted prospect and got just a taste of the NHL last season for the Wild while Bouchard continues to be plagued by concussion issues. Jones is the surest bet on right side with 35 goals and 58 points while playing all but two games the last two seasons with the Oilers.
Line 3: Brett Bulmer -- Patrick O'Sullivan -- Cal Clutterbuck
Once again, we have questions on the left and in the middle but have a safe bet in Clutterbuck on the right side. O'Sullivan had some nice seasons early in his career but has regressed to playing just 23 games last season for the Coyotes and Bulmer, like Zucker is highly touted but unproven. Clutterbuck is reliable, physical and will do a little scoring (15-12=27 last season), plus he has that awesome mustache.
Offensive Scratch: Matt Kassian
Kassian hasn't played much in the NHL, just 28 games, and won't be adding much in the way of offense at all. But he will fight should the need arise, a nice attribute to at least have handy.
Defensive Pairing 1: Brent Burns -- Nick Schultz
Burns being a converted forward brings a lot of offense to the table obviously. The knock has always been the defense. That's where Schultz, the second pick in franchise history who was just dealt away last season, comes in. We'll go for balance.
Defensive Pairing 2: Nick Leddy -- Marco Scandella
Leddy was traded away to the Blackhawks before he ever got the chance to play in the NHL. Now, just 20 and two seasons in already, he 37 points last season for Chicago while averaging more than 22 minutes of ice per game. Scandella, like Schultz, will bear more of the defensive role in this duo.
Defensive Scratch: Justin Falk
Falk -- not to be confused with Minnesota native Justin Faulk -- narrowly edges out Clayton Stoner, but really, flip a coin. The Wild proved last year they are good at finding underrated but solid defensemen and have a few of them around.
Goaltending: Josh Harding -- Matt Hackett
Because this is only going off of players who were drafted, Niklas Backstrom doesn't make the cut as an unrestricted free agent. That's OK, Harding will get his chance to start and Hackett, who looked very good in his brief NHL stint last season, backs him up.

U.S. News "Energy Independence" smackdown: Climate Progress vs. Dick Cheneys friend
Welcome to any U.S. News and World Report readers who came here because of my piece, "The U.S. Needs to End Its Energy Dependence: This dependence is economically unsustainable and dangerous for our children." The piece will be in the print edition Monday! [I will provide links to back up the article's assertiaons below.]
The contrary view, "Energy Independence Is Neither Practical nor Attainable" — that our situation is hopeless, and we must focus on short term solutions — was provided by one J. Robinson West. I know you will be surprised to learn that he is chairman of the oil and gas consulting firm PFC Energy, a former U.S. assistant secretary of the interior under President Reagan, and a [buckshot-free] friend of Dick Cheney's.
It is also not surprising that he attacks ethanol but never once mentions plug-in hybrids or electricity as an alternative fuel — even though plug ins are a core solution to our rising oil dependence and "electricity is the only alternative fuel that can lead to energy independence."
It is a tad surprising that he says, "For the past 25 years, the U.S. government has painlessly and shortsightedly encouraged consumption and discouraged production" — since, as we've seen, it is conservatives lead by his former boss who have fought efforts to promote conservation and efficiency (see "Who got us in this energy mess? Start with Ronald Reagan") and since more production (even if it were possible) can't make a dent in our energy problem, especially as he defines it, which is our vulnerability to soaring global oil prices, a point we agree on.
It is even more suprising that he has the chutzpah to explicitly beat his chest about how politicians have ignored higher mileage standards and mass transit. He must know that it is conservatives like him, Reagan, and Cheney who have fought those policies. It is especially lame that he criticizes government research on solutions as inadequate when his former boss is the one who cut funding for this research 85%!
But what is staggering to me is that this guy is an extreme peak-oiler, although you would never know it from this piece. You'd have to spend a little time on Google to find this stunning quote of his from Newsweek a mere two years ago:
Welcome to the age of energy insecurity. Worldwide production will peak. The result will be skyrocketing prices, with a huge, sustained economic shock. Jobs will be lost. Without action, the crisis will certainly bring energy rivalries, if not energy wars. Vast wealth will be shifted, probably away from the U.S. For the last 20 years, U.S. policy has discouraged production and encouraged consumption. If we dither any more, we will pay a terrible price, the economic equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane. Katrina was Category 4.
And you thought I was an alarmist! Too bad he never offers any real solutions. Too bad he merely gives lip service to criticizing dithering/obstructionist politicians without explaining he is talking about his conservative buddies.
I didn't get enough space in the article to lay out the full problem and full solution, but regular readers of this blog have certainly seen it detailed. New visitors who are interested should read some of the links below:

Why would we drill for tiny oil pockets, when there is a Ghawar waiting to be tapped right here in the US? Plug-in hybrid efficiency will be the equivalent of another Ghawar. The drill here, drill now movement is so pathetic. All they care about is money in oil company pockets; they don't care about what really mattes, which is drilling in the King of oil fields: efficiency.
Well written piece. They should have just had the other guys piece before yours instead of claiming there are 2 different views of the same problem. His about what to write if you have no solutions and then yours when there are solutions.
Just how fast can PHEV's take over the trans. vehicle market? I read it might get to 6 percent of new vehicles sold by 2020. Is that how long it will take?
Coal, not oil is the big Climate Change problem. If we all switch to electricity then there better be the infrastructure and technology in place to support the transition.
The switch to electricity can happen over night and we see it right now in the car industry. This would be even more if the product was available. What is bound to happen in the short term is a greater demand for coal electricity – this does not bode well.
From the contrarian view: "There is now no liquid fuel that can largely replace oil for transportation. We are stuck because of the scale of the industry and—despite criticism—oil's efficiency. A gallon of gas, refined from African oil, is cheaper than a gallon of Maine sparkling water. Political alternatives like corn-based ethanol have required huge subsidies and convulsed food markets but produced only 430,000 barrels per day in 2007— 2 percent of U.S. oil consumption."
Does a single part of the solution really need to largely replace oil for transportation? How about corn ethanol, and sugar ethanol, and X, Y, Z … ethanol …? Possibly more important, how about adding methanol from numerous sources to that mix? Together these will add up. An ethanol/methanol support mandate for new vehicles would go a long way towards opening up markets for these fuels, enabling large scale research and development, production, and distribution. It would also be fairly painless. If you're not only interested in energy independence, but are also concerned with climate (as this site is), additional incentives and disincentives could be used to encourage greater use of the more climate-friendly variants.
If oil can be gathered cheaper than alternatives by a cartel that can raise and lower supply at will, then for energy independence's sake a high tariff on cartel oil should be helpful.
How much of the food price increase have been because of increased fuel ethanol use, and how much has been because of other reasons (higher gas prices, for example)? Even corn ethanol has animal feed as a byproduct.
"Brazil shifted to ethanol. But its ethanol is derived from sugar, the economics of which are dramatically different from those of corn, which has less energy content. And it explored for oil offshore, using Brazilian petrol to cut back oil imports. Commentators also omit that Brazil is a small gasoline market—4 percent the size of the United States—an ignored issue of scale."
Nevertheless, for energy independence, remove the tariff on imported sugar ethanol. At least this will spread the energy dependence to more sources, reducing vulnerability.
Will these measures solve the energy independence problem? Perhaps not, but they'd help.
red — I agree. Import more ethanol from Brazil and the Caribbean. Follow the lead of the Europeans and especially the CHinese in setting up massive biofuel plantations in Africa.
I think its a win-win (except for the oil shieks, of course).
Joe: "Domestic drilling isn't part of a serious national energy plan because it won't reduce our oil dependence or help achieve climate targets. The Energy Information Administration says that offshore drilling would have little impact on production or prices even in 2030 and that drilling in Alaska would cut gas prices only 2 cents by 2025."
Domestic drilling may not be a solution to the energy dependence problem. However, it's hard to see how it would hurt energy independence, unless it were seen as "The Solution". The way I would treat domestic drilling is to use it as a bargaining chip. Trade it for more promising energy independence steps that domestic drilling advocates would otherwise tend to resist, like increasing CAFE standards again, or increasing the government market for PHEVs … or whatever.
I would treat steps like increased gas taxes or tariffs, or carbon taxes, the same way. By themselves they're probably almost impossible to implement politically. At least I'd object to them, and I'll bet I'm in the mainstream on that. However, make a political deal where some other, comparably sized, and more harmful, tax (income, payroll, etc) is removed or reduced in return, and you might be able to get it passed.
Joe: "We should aim for all new cars to get more than 100 miles per gallon by 2040, which requires low-carbon alternatives."
It may be a small thing in the grand economic and time scales this blog covers, but the $10M Progressive Automotive X PRIZE race with market-capable cars that get 100 mpg should be helpful in achieving this goal:
xprizecars.com/ or
It only became official recently (probably when the sponsor Progressive signed up), but it's been in development for a couple years. It already has a huge number of teams trying to win, from big manufacturers like Tata, to small startups, to garage teams. Even celebrities like Neil Young and Jay Leno are involved. It may help push the technology, or integration of existing technologies, ahead. It may help start necessary industrial bases, and get some startups off the ground. Students are working on it, so the educational pipeline will be helped. They also have a few million $ from DOE for an education program. I think the main effect will happen when the public (and auto industry elite) sees the (hopefully) highly-publicized cross-country race, and sees that these vehicles can be practical, and many of them are pretty cool, too.
You want the public to see this energy efficiency and climate stuff as fun and practical, not dull, oppressive, and depressing.
Hopefully they'll be able to make more contributions to the energy independence and climate change efforts with the non-food Biofuels Prize and Aviation Fuel Prize they have in development, as well as others they've hinted about.
I'll bet Joe has some ideas they should hear on how to design these competitions.
Ronald asks, "Just how fast can PHEV's take over the trans. vehicle market? I read it might get to 6 percent of new vehicles sold by 2020. Is that how long it will take?"
New technologies typically penetrate the marketplace following something called an S-curve (technically this is modeled by the Fisher-Pry equation, which has two parameters, the year 50% market penetration is reached, and the number of years to go from 10% to 50%). I've tried to guess at these parameters by looking at what happened to hybrids, which just reached 2% of the U.S. market in 2007. My feeling from spreadsheet work on this is that PHEVs could hit 10% in 2020, 50% in 2027, and 90% in 2034. If these sales guesses pan out, then PHEVs would represent 27% of the vehicle fleet in 2030, 47% in 2034, and 77% in 2040.
Please remember that predictions usually say more about the seer than the future. YMMV.
> My feeling from spreadsheet work on this is that PHEVs could hit 10% in 2020, 50% in 2027, and 90% in 2034.
Reasonable if all else is equal. However, if the price of gas keeps going up, it could happen more quickly for economic reasons.
Let me try to answer red's point this way:
How much fuel can be made from agricultural residue (which doesn't compete with food). ORNL suggests 170 million tons (154 million tonnes) of corn stover is possible. If one assumes 0.38 L ethanol per kg for cellulosic conversion, then you get 58 billion liters or 15 billion gallons, which would make 18 billion gallons of E85. Using 86.4 MJ/gal for the LHV of E85, and 121.3 MJ/gal for the LHV of gasoline, this means the E85 is the equivalent of 13 billion gallons of gasoline. If we assume a fleet average of 60 MPG in 2050, this represents 778 billion miles of VMT. For 420 million people at the current VMT per capita of 9300, we will want to drive 3.9 trillion miles, so this is 20% of US 2050 VMT.
What if you wanted to power all 2050 driving with E85? Reverse the calculation. 3.9 trillion miles divided by 60 MPG is 65 billion gallons of gasoline (we use 140 billion gallons today, so 60 MPG really helps). Scale by the energy of E85 vs. gasoline and this is 91 billion gallons of E85, which requires 78 billion gallons of ethanol. Subtract the 15 billion gallons from Ag residue, and you need switchgrass for 63 billion gallons of ethanol. Using the switchgrass yields published by Schmer et al. in January's PNAS, that requires 109 million hectares of land, or 421,000 square miles. The non-Alaska land area of the U.S. is 3,130,800 mi^2, so this requires 13% of the country (I assume Alaska won't be growing switchgrass unless the deniers/delayers win).
In contrast, fueling PHEV-60s in 2050 takes about 1000 TWh/year. The land required to generate that much with wind turbines is just 420,000 hectares, or 1,600 mi^2 (using just the space occupied by the turbines, since the rest of the wind farm is dual-use).
421,000 mi^2 vs. 1,600 mi^2: I know which I would choose. I'd use Ag residue for E85 for the backup fuel for the PHEVs though.
Seconding Earl's earlier remarks about EFFICIENCY:
1) One of the world's hereoes of energy efficinecy is Art Rosenfeld, whose Autobiography is great reading.
2) Even if all of the electricity for PHEVs were coming from coal, it's still less CO2 than using gas or diesel, but it isn't all coming from coal.
3) In any case, CA has managed for 30 years not increase our electricity/capita, while the US as a whole has gone up ~40-50%. See page 9 of Rosenfeld, May 2, 2007. You can see Electricity use per state. This shows that nearby states vary widely in their efficiency, and there are efficient states in the North as well as elsewhere.
Alternatively, a thought-provoking chart is that seen in Electricity consumption by state by political orientation (2004 election).
Many states' PUC rules reward utilities for generating megawatts. This makes utilities and coal producers happy. It doesn't reward efficiency. If you reward efficiency, people get more efficient.
States differ in climate, industry, transport, and economy, so not everyone can get to the same place.
BUT, there could be a huge number of PHEVs on the roads, with *zero* additional coal plants. All it takes is for the US as a whole to get half as serious about efficiency as some states already are. Of course, coal producers may have a different viewpoint.
Thanks Earl for the estimates on new vehicle PHEV's. Like you said who knows.
Wasn't it in World War II the United States was building military Jeeps on car assembly lines 6 months after Pearl Harbor was bombed. Some of it is in how bad we want it.
It'll be at least mildly interesting which will take off more and where, whether it will be Prius type vehicles or PHEV's. I suppose you are thinking it will be PHEV's that have the larger sale volume.
Ronald, yes, I've heard that WW II retooling was quite amazing. Of course vehicles were simpler then too. The S-curve is for normal consumer technology adoption decisions. It applies broad (e.g. DVDs replacing VCRs, or 3.5 in disk drives replacing 5.25 in) . What happens in a situation like WW II is not consumer driven of course.

Police investigating untimely deathMarch 07,2014Police probe
untimely death
BRATTLEBORO Police are investigating the death of Dr. Kathryn Eppel of Brattleboro.
Eppel, 60, a psychiatrist, was discovered at her East Orchard Street home Wednesday afternoon, police said.
According to a release from the Brattleboro police, the Vermont State Police crime scene search team was notified and assisted in processing the scene. Eppels body was transported to the Vermont medical examiners Office in Burlington for an autopsy.
Windham County States Attorney Tracy Shriver said that it was unclear what the circumstances were surrounding Eppels death, which she said was unattended. Emergency personnel were called to Eppels home at 2:45 p.m. Wednesday.
Police said there was no threat to the general public, but that case was under active investigation.MORE IN This Just In

After being buried in a consulting job that lasted several months I finally finished this a.m. and can once again pay some attention to this crazy MB. While Bugsey nailed it yesterday by diagnosing terry with NPD, I believe that Insmed is moving closer daily to debunking his most oft used scare tactic - that Insmed has virtually given up on CF here in the states since a costly phase III trial would be required.
IMO there will be a costly trial, but not for cystic fibrosis. The next phase III that Insmed will conduct here in the states will be for non CF Bronchiectasis. That market is far larger than the CF market, and Insmed already has stellar phase II results. Since the same doctors that treat Non CF Bronchiectasis also treat CF patients a positive trial would open a whole new market, while at the same time contributing to far more off label sales. Very positive results, along with the European data, and QIDP designation for NTM, may indeed open up a discussion with the FDA regarding filing an application for CF licensing here in the states.
Terry also likes to warn us that Insmed may yet have to file for a phase III for NTM in order to ever gain approval. That makes no sense. If the current results are good enough to enter a phase III, they will be good enough to get approved. NTM is growing 8% a year and has become a very costly disease with no approved treatments. The FDA had originally allowed Insmed to enter right into a phase III but backed off after the rat results. With that no longer an issue,, the current NTM phase II trial remains a phase III in disguise.
What has been moving the shares recently with seemingly no near term catalysts. Well, my guess is that there is a very near term catalyst.

Since this has already been decided by a jury, there shouldn't be any more money
pumped into this charade. If his attorney's want to volunteer their time
because they feel strongly that he is a victim (it's pretty hard to type that
without puking), then let them donate their own resources.
Cases like these should not be permanent employment for a few attorneys. My goodness, lock up the guilty and give the innocent their rightful taste of freedom, closure and fresh air.

Are there any docs for customizing the theme of this plugin? I would like to control the background and fonts etc.
Are there any docs for customizing the theme of this plugin? I would like to control the background and fonts etc.
Along with this might there also, be a way to use a static image with a "yes" or a no" mapped as the authentication method? With that, is there the an ability to have the grey background display in 40% opacity?
Both of these would be killer helps in the branding, identity, and customer experience categories.
So, in the plugins folder there is a style sheet.
I copied the styles and put them in my themes style sheet.
Then, in the settings for the plugin in the wp backend>settings>age-verify, you just uncheck the "Use built-in CSS on the front-end (recommended)" box.
From what I can tell, the whole thing is like a modal div covering the page, so you can't make the overlay wrapper thing transparent or you will just see the page beneath. You can however make the overlay content box lighter, like you said, by just adding, background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.2); or whatever to the style sheet. You can change most of the stuff, but I would stay away from the positioning if you aren't familiar with how the whole thing works.
I was hoping to use the background image that I'm inserting with backstretch.js, but it doesn't look like that's in the cards for me. At least there is plenty of ways to customize with the css though. NOTE: the @media query at the bottom -

The Features of Double Bubble Slot Game
Double Bubble slot game can be played for fun as a free game or can be played competitively with real money. Free games act as trial games for new players and as such most of the free money games are replica of the regular real money games. But the free money games may not have a few features, which are available in real money games. However, free money games provide a good opportunity for first time players to get acquainted with the scatter symbols, wild symbols as well as the bonus features.
Wild and Scatter Symbols
To provide a better chance of winning, slot games now have special symbols like wild and scatter. The presence of these symbols enhances the chances of earnings of the players. While wild symbols need to appear on an activated pay line to take the player past the winning line, scatter symbol can appear anywhere on the slot machine to change the fortunes of the players. And while the mere presence of wild symbol helps players complete the winning combination, scatter symbols differ in their function.
Bonus Games Activated
The presence of scatter symbols in slot games lead to bonus games being activated. In Double Bubble slot, the appearance of scatter symbol activates the Bubble Pop Bonus game and Bubble Line Bonus game. The scatter symbol in the Double Bubble slot is represented by the Bonus Bubble symbol. When these bonus games are activated, the regular screen is replaced by the bonus screen. On this screen players are offered a choice of three bonus bubbles, representing three different games.
Once the players choose one of the three bonus bubble, they come to know about the multiplier value. Any earnings a player gets in this bonus game is multiplied by the value of the coin chosen. Such bonus features, however, are not activated when wild symbols appear in the slot game.
Bubble Pop and Bubble Line Bonus Features
When the scatter symbol in Double Bubble slot appear on reels 1, 3 or 5, then the Bubble Pop Bonus game is activated. Whereas when the scatter symbol appears on reel 2, the Bubble Line Bonus game is activated. Bubble Line bonus invariably appears below the double bubble slot line. At the end of the bonus games, the screen reverts to the original Double Bubble slot screen and the players can continue with the game, retaining the earnings obtained in the bonus game. The retained bonus money is added to the earnings obtained in the regular pay line. Players, thus, are able to earn more than what they are eligible for as per the pay table.

Meredith Verne Davison
Published: Sunday, August 10, 2014 at 8:05 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, August 10, 2014 at 8:05 a.m.
SPARTANBURG, SC-- Meredith Verne Davison born in the panhandle of Oklahoma at Shattuck, OK, Meredith lived his early years on a 100,000 acre cattle and buffalo ranch owned by his grandfather. He and his older sister, Barbara, enjoyed riding horses on the range with their father. While an elementary student, his family moved to Rapid City, South Dakota, and later to Spartanburg, SC, where he finished high school at Spartanburg High. One of the things Meredith enjoyed immensely was flying single and twin-engine airplanes with his "brothers" Joe and Clyde Wells; he learned to fly right out of high school, at the University of Oklahoma. From there he came back to Spartanburg and was a pharmacist and part owner of the former Craft's Drug Store chain. His career continued with a move to Charlotte where he was an assistant vice president of the Eckerd Drug Chain, before retiring into real estate and part-time pharmacy work. He also enjoyed playing golf, cribbage, and time with his children and grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
Meredith married Carolyn Wells of Spartanburg, SC, on February 10, 1951, and together they had three children - Meredith, Jr., Ron, and Meda. Carolyn and Meredith were married for 55 years before Carolyn succumbed to the effects of Multiple Myeloma in 2006. Four years later, Meredith married the former Virginia Scruggs Beach, a childhood friend of Carolyn and Meredith's.
Meredith, who was 86, is survived by his wife Virginia of four years, three children - Meredith and Denise Davison, Ron and Lucy Davison, and Meda and Rick Dixon - eight grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren, as well as many special friends and family, including Clyde and Helen Wells, Joe Williamson, Helen D. Wells, and Elizabeth Coggins.
A memorial service honoring the life of Meredith will be held at Trinity Methodist Church 626 Norwood Street Spartanburg, SC on Monday, August 11 at 11:00 AM. The family will receive friends an hour before the service from 10:00 until 11:00 AM in the fellowship hall.
Memorials may be sent to the SRHS Regional Hospice House, 686 Jeff Davis Drive, Spartanburg, SC 29303. Cecil M. Burton Funeral Home and Crematory is in charge of the service. Cecil M Burton Funeral Home and Crematory is serving the family of Mr. Davison

Date: November 9, 2013
By: Aaron Delp and Brian Gracely
Description: Aaron and returning guest co-host Kenneth Hui (@hui_kenneth) talk to Scott Sneddon (@ssneddon) about the state of OpenStack Neutron as well Nuage Networks and upcoming proposed changes to Neutron.
Topic 1 - What's your background in networking and why is Nuage Networks here at OpenStack Summit?
Topic 2 - Your LinkedIn profile says "I think we have the coolest Network Virtualization/SDN solution in the market. My job is to convince the world that I'm right." What makes the Nuage offering different and "cool"?
Topic 3 - The Nuage VSP platform has an element called "Business Logic" in the SDN abstraction layer. This seems somewhat unique for SDN solutions (most focus on L2-L7 services). How do customers like having business logic within an IT platform? How does that translate to OpenStack plug-in's?
Topic 4 - Playing Devil's Advocate, since there are alot of SDN/NetVirt solutions out on the market - why work with an SDN start-up that's based on Lucent/Alcatel technology - they aren't considered Data Center vendors (WAN, Telephony, etc.)
Topic 5 - As a vendor that sells closed-source products, put interops with so many open-source projects (OpenStack, CloudStack, Xen, KVM, etc.) is it difficult to explain to customers how to design solutions?

Your charges will be calculated when you register and you can determine the amount you owe by viewing your OPUS account. (The navigation is View Your Account-Summary then Item Details for Fall 2016).
|We strongly encourage students to use the online payment function within OPUS to make their registration payment. To facilitate the payment process, we suggest you use the OPUS feature called OPUS Guest Access. With Guest Access, you will be able to authorize up to five guests with access to OPUS pages you have selected for them. Some of the Finances items you will be able to authorize for your Guest include View Monthly and Registration Bills, Make On-Line Payment, Make Emory Card Deposit, Enroll in Payment Plan, and View Account Detail. See the Guest Access information page on this website for further details. Student Financial services also provides a "Bill Payer" email address field (in the profile section of OPUS) where an additional email address can be added to receive copies of the emails sent to students.
Payment Guidelines:
Payment for any semester is due approximately ten days before the official start of the term. If you are enrolling during the late registration period or drop/add session for your school, payment in full is due on that day. If payment is not made by the end of the drop/add session, your course schedule will be cancelled. There is not a payment plan for the summer sessions.
Emory Tuition and Fee Adjustment Schedule
Please note: The dates on this schedule reflect those used for Emory College to determine the tuition adjustments made for a complete withdrawal. Since several schools have different start dates (Oxford, Grad Arts and Sciences, Med School etc.) the adjustments made for students withdrawing from those schools will reflect the start date of that school, relative to the dates used below.
